Dear friends out there, i hope u'll have enough time to read this problem of mine and try to help me solve it. well, i've been a long time user of microsoft products and happened to come across FreeBSD when one fellow referred me to it saying that it was a wonderful OS which one could use for web server to start a SOHO business. i managed to purchase two FreeBSD 6.2 CDs from London which a friend brought me here in Cairo, Egypt. i also managed to download the same copy which i burned just in case. now given the fact that this SOHO business i want to start requires a static IP address (81.10.46.150) which i acquired, however, whenever i configure my 4-port ZyXEL router and connect my two computers to it (one computer running on windows) i get conflicting message. does my problem have a solution? i do have the FreeBSD handbook but there's no place to turn to...no BSD schools here in Cairo, Egypt nor technicians. i'd like to deploy it as a server and not desktop.
thanks for reading and analysing my plea as i wait for your response.
YAHYA
