I have a Freebsd 5.1 box connected to the internet. 
It works.  But I am now trying to network two other
Win XP machines as per the following network
hierarchy:

<><><>
Setup
<><><>
ISP-> DSL Modem -> FreeBSD box :
1) "vr0" 192.168.0.1 [Gateway machine address] 
2) "ed0" 192.168.0.3 [Internal Network address]
connects to:->

4- port HUB ->
1)WinXP machine #1 192.168.0.2
2)Freebsd Box 192.168.0.3
3)WinXP machine #2 192.168.0.4

<><><>
Problem:
<><><>
I cannot communicate to the Internet from WinXP #2 
(Have not tried to config WinXP #1 yet).

<><><>
Browser Config
<><><>
IE Brower Settings for WinXP #2 {Tools>Internet
Options>Connections>)
-I set the browser so that it never dials a connection
because it is suppose to be networked right?
- in the LAN Settings option, I set the Proxyserver
option with the address of the gateway of 192.168.0.1
with Port 80

<><><>
Dialouge
<><><>
>From Freebsd Machine
# ping 192.168.0.4
PING 192.168.0.4 (192.168.0.4): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down

-at one point I was able to ping the freebsd machine
from WinXP #2 but then for some reason, I made a
change and cannot ping anymore...

<><><>
RC.CONF
<><><>

My rc.conf file looks like this:
	font8x14="NO"
