Which machine, FreeBSD or XP, is connected to the Internet? If it is XP select 'share internet connection' in the advance settings for the network settings to make XP the gateway for the FreeBSD machine. Then in /etc/rc.conf add (or modify)
defaultrouter="ip.to.xp.box" and in /etc/resolv.conf make sure you have your name servers listed, you can use the XP box as the first one. domain yourmaindomain.com nameserver ip.toa.dns.box nameserver ip.toa.dns.box HTH, cheers Jay -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sandbox Video Productions Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 10:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Networking I would like a tutorial on how to newtork freebsd to windowsXP via linksys modem. i can ping the windowsXP but i can't connect nor can i install mozilla. it seems that it's not connecting to the internet. the handbook gives good descriptions but not step by step instructions. please help a newbie. thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
