I usually avoid answering this sort of > question :-/ well, i know for sure the modem isn't a winmodem...but it can be plug and play (it's not setup for it atm, setup on com2). As for the irq, that could be it as i haven't checked that out. If I try it again, i'll check the irq and the com port as well as the dmesg output. when you say -c, do you mean when it gives the "kernel will boot in 9seconds or hit enter to boot immediately" message? I've been using freebsd for about 1-2 months now and am just starting to get into the interesting things of it...caching only dns, firewalls, port aliasing, and dhcp....will soon tackle the kernel though, and from there...who knows. Thanks again for the help. I think i'm going to base a(yet another of the many) how-to off my experience with ppp and the caching only dns. :). If anyone would like to proof-read it and/or offer up any ideas, i'd appreciate it. I know theres a lot of how-to's, but it only takes that one thats worded just right for someone to go "DOH! Thats what they meant in the other tutorials". thats how it was with me and the dns server yesterday :).
