Just got a DSL modem. Tried with windows and worked fine. There was no program to "dial/connect" as I have seen at a friends house. All I had to do was to configure the NT machine with the right IP and to set the apropriate gateway. I tried to do the same with a FreeBSD stable machine, but it doesn't work. I tried to ping the gateway IP, but it gives me an error "no route to host". Do I need to use PPPoE with this modem? Relevant lines from /etc/rc.conf ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.10.6 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_ed0="inet ##.###.##.147 netmask 255.255.255.0" hostname="my machine's name" defaultrouter="##.###.##.1" gateway_enable="YES" # Set to YES if this host will be a gateway. firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="open" firewall_quiet="NO" natd_interface="fxp0" # Public interface or IPaddress to use. natd_enable="YES" # Enable natd (if firewall_enable == YES). The kernel was compiled iwth firewall and natd. /etc/services checked and it had the natd line. I was trying to get a router instead of a modem, but they were out. I have a Cisco 675, from a previous DSL attempt, but I couldn't find how to reset the password so I decided to just put a second card on a FreeBSD machine and try to use the modem from FreeBSD.
