    Hello,
         I am currently trying to use a network bridge via my Mac for my
    FreeBSD machine and Windows machine to access the outside world
    because I have not purchased a wireless PCI card for my FreeBSD box
    and the only means to connect is via wireless.
         So my network topology looks like this:

    | FBSD | <-> | Mac | <-> | Outside world |

         What I want to do is setup the routes correctly such that all
    packets are forwarded from the Mac to the FreeBSD machine, and vice
    versa. I got this working last night but I fubared my routing tables
    and had to restart my machine, such that I thought I failed.
         So my question is, how do I properly set the value for gateway
    for the FBSD machine or use the route command to create a static
    route for all IP values not 192.168.1.0/20?
         Thanks,
    -Garrett
