2.1. Typical Network Topology

This guide assumes a typical Local Area Network lashed together as follows: 

 
+---------+       ----> Dial-Up Internet Connection
| FreeBSD |       \       (i.e.: NetCom, AOL, AT&T, EarthLink, etc)
|         |--------
| "Curly" |
|         |
+----+----+
     |
|----+-------------+-------------+----|  <-- Ethernet Network
     |             |             |
     |             |             |
+----+----+   +----+----+   +----+----+
|         |   |         |   |         |
|  Win95  |   |   WFW   |   |  WinNT  |
| "Larry" |   |  "Moe"  |   | "Shemp" |
|         |   |         |   |         |
