Unlike RoadRunner users, you don't have a 'login' issue to deal with. However, you may or may not have a static IP with @home. If you *do* have a dynamic IP address, then you'll need a DHCP *client*. There is an ISC version in the ports collection but I prefer to fetch my own(www.isc.org). In general, you will want to: 1. Build BSD box as you *seem* to have done. 2. Get your DHCP client up and running(if you need it). 3. Fix any admin details like resolv.conf Don't forget, get all the @home connection info *before* you start (eg nameserver IP, your IP address if static, etc...). -Chuck To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
