I have 2 NICs in one of my PC running BeOS and FreeBSD. I want to test it
using FreeBSD by pinging or telneting to my OpenBSD box(firewall). I just
need a correct IP on both of these NICs, inclusing netmasks. My OpenBSD's
NIC has an IP of 192.168.0.1, netmask 255.255.255.0.
TIA

I'm not sure what you're asking. Why do you have 2 NICs in your PC
inside the firewall? The firewall should have 2 of course...

Is your problem setting up the firewall or the inside computer? You can
make up the IP addresses youself as long as the firewall has the correct
routing. The only place you need the IP is in the OS of the computer
whose IP you want to set.

I just want to test if the new NIC(the one that isn't working) works by
putting it in my PC inside the firewall. In the future I will be be using
the inside PC as a firewall because I'm planning to get a DSL which in this
case should need 2 NICS. My other PC which acts as a firewall right now has
only one NIC and a dial-up connection to the 'net.
But, basically all I want to know are correct IP addresses for my two
NICs in the inside PC. Let's say I don't have any IPs on both NICs in my
inside PC and my other PC has an IP of 192.168.0.1. Can I just assign any IP
other thatn 192.168.0.1 on both NICS?
