If not then I guess it doesn't matter. The dsl modem is on bge0, which ifconfig reports as bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=1a<TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING> inet6 fe80::211:11ff:febd:be3a%bge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:11:11:bd:be:3a media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) My expectation (hope) is to change the "10base" in the media: line to "100base" or "1000base" to gain any throughput advantage that is possible. The internal network is on re0, which ifconfig reports as re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=1b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING> inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::240:f4ff:feb4:841a%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 ether 00:40:f4:b4:84:1a media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active I'd like the change the "100base" in the media: line to a "1000base", if possible. thanks for your eyes! lane
