In local.freebsd.questions you write: >Thanks Francisco. I have ADSL with an internal modem (Intel >Pro/DSL 2100). I'll look into that router you suggested too. >I'm also considering the Cisco 675, which I hear is pretty good. > Is the only reason I cannot use my internal modem due to lack >of driver support in FreeBSD? I guess that would make sense >since I had to install software on windows to get it running. >I was looking through the FreeBSD FAQ today and it seems like >I'll have to configure my connection using PPP. Is that >correct? If your provider is using PPPoE (PPP over ethernet), yes. Otherwise you only need to define a default router. Hint: if you've specified a username and password somewhere in your windoze DSL setup, you are probably running PPPoE. $.02, /Mikko -- Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
