But I would like to know a little more about what I did. I am connecting to a hub that connect's to a 3 come HomeConnect Modem that connect's to ???? I did some reading and figured I was connecting to an RA server IPv6- I didn't know but I said yes IPv4 - private local network, I don't think I needed this so I said no DHCP - wasn't sure, but I said yes. So, I didn't really now what IPv6 and IPv4 are? I figure they are network protocols? DHCP - I am sure that I want to connect to the server. Last question is RA servr. The ADSL modem could connect to this? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
