Re: freebsd / gateway / parental control

Hi there again,

Great! OK I am encouraged to give it a try. But hardware-wise I will
need
to NICs and plug my modem line into one NIC and then the other NIC will
be
used to connect the Dlink router. I figure the Dlink router essentially
becomes redundant but it is a wireless machine so I would like to use it
anyway.

you'll need 2 nics, right.

If you use the wireless in the DSL modem, you'll be bypassing the BSD
server.

Just one question here. If I plug the router to the lan NIC and configure
it to take DHCP and DNS settings from the BSD box, then the wireless will
not bypass the BSD machine, will it?

what I have planned to do is use a non-wireless DSL modem in bridged mode
(DLINK 504T), connect to the BSD box.

BSD box with 2 NICs ('wan' and 'lan') as well as a DLINK G520 PCI
Wireless
card (Atheros chipset) and make the BSD box the wireless AP.

I see. I can do the same but that would render the wireless Dlink useless
so I wonder if I can still use it and control connections via the BSD
machine.

Thank you very much!

Zbigniew Szalbot
