Subject:   Need help configuring ethernet DSL modem
Message-ID:  <200106231719.NAA06111@mx3.drf.com>

I just got a Wiltell Wirespeed DSL modem yesterday.
I tried with windows first: configured the machine with the IP as per the instructions and set the proper gateway. It worked.

I then tried to do the same with FreeBSD, but it is not working. I thought maybe it was PPPoE. Wrote to the ISP and they wrote back saying 

ISP->No. Its straight ethernet. Just plug in your modem, and configure IP
ISP->address you were given to your ethernet interface.
ISP->ifconfig xx0 66.114.xx.xx netmask 255.255.255.0

The relevant lines in rc.conf are:
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.10.6 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_ed0="inet 66.114.65.147  netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="66.114.65.1"

The output of netstat -nr is:

Internet:

192.168.10.255     ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff  UHLWb       1       72     fxp0

In particular I did man netstat for the flags on this line:
66.114.65.1        0:d0:6:47:d0:1c    UHLW        2        2      ed0    999
 H       RTF_HOST         Host entry (net otherwise)
 L       RTF_LLINFO       Valid protocol to link address translation
 U       RTF_UP           Route usable
 W       RTF_WASCLONED    Route was generated as a result of cloning

I am not all that familiar with netstat, but those flags seem like freebsd can
see the default gateway, yet I am unable to ping it or connect to anything 
through it.

Any thoughts?
