That's pretty much why I want to do it too...unfortunately I'm not very well-versed in configuring dhcp clients...are there any FAQ's anywhere that would be of any use..? Also, what would I have to reconnect to every 7-10 days? I'm not sure I catch your meaning on that one... Thanks again, and sorry for all the questions, but I'm fairly new to FreeBSD and all its nuances and I'm trying to make sure that I can actually make this setup work before I shell out the cash for the modem and the service. -Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
