Hi. I imagine that now you have cable modem connected to ipfirewall, and next to PC. So you should change your default gateway destination under FreeBSD Check this "netstat -rn" "route add default ip_adress_3com", and DNS should be in /etc/resolv.conf. Something like this: nameserver ip_address Good luck :-) Marek Florianczyk franki@oko.com.pl tel 0502 126 187 On Sat, 22 Jul 2000, Jamil Taylor wrote: > I am running FreeBSD 4.0 on a machine connected to the net with a cable > modem.
