XP to FreeBSD LAN connection

[Jacob Vennervald Madsen]

Hi

If you just want to be able to connect to services on the FreeBSD box
from your XP box, then you should just give your XP box's internal
network adapter and the FreeBSD box's network adapter an IP address
withing the same internal subnet.
For example give you XP box the address 10.0.0.1 and your FreeBSD box
the address 10.0.0.2. The subnet mask on both should be 255.0.0.0 and
that's it.

Wouldn't it be nicer to have your FreeBSD box function as a NAT router
and firewall?
A FreeBSD machine without internet connection is in my opinion no fun
=o)

Best regards,
Jacob
