Networking

[Jason Lavigne]

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
