There is one 10baseT port in the wall, and I have been told that the router in the basement will only talk on these ports to one mac address at a time. I have an 8 port 10baseT hub and two ethernet cards in my FreeBSD machine. I have tried just putting the hub off of the wall, but the only machine that can talk to the world when they are all attached is the first that tries. I'm clue less on what I should look in to next. Now I'm not looking for a step by step instruction, but if someone could post the man pages that I should read to get me so that all the machines are on the net, it would be greatly appreciated.
