Actually, I think you're only connected to your ISP's 
modem.

This first time I did this, I followed the instructions in 
Lehey's book. It took a while and some effort, since I started 
off knowing very little about the subject. How you set it up 
depends on your situation and wishes, so I can't tell you how 
to do it. Read, study, and post questions to freebsd-questions, 
since this doesn't relate to stable.
