       Hello everyone,

       I would like to share an internet connection
    between freebsd and windows xp.
       This is my scenario:
        I have a ADSL internet connection in a winXP pro
    box.
        I have another box with FreeBSD 4.9 recently
    installed that is not configured for networking or
    anything.
        I have a point-to-point network with those two
    boxes (that is not working at the moment and I dont
    know how to make it work).
        I do not want to change the connetion to the
    internet to the freebsd box. I like to leave it in the
    winxp box.
        I dont know if this matters but my internet ip is
    dynamic.
        I cant purchase any hardware.

       if this is possible, I would like to know what I
    have to configure and/or install in the freebsd box to
    make this work. Also I would apreciate to either an
    explanation or pointers to documentation that help me
    configure and/or install everything that I will need.

       Thanks for reading this and for a possible reply.
