If you plan to run natd and pipe your network through your machine make sure you don't mention that to the guy who does the installation, though. - I have also a cable modem. I don't know if you guys know the company (MediaOne). But the problems is that it only runs 1 static IP, and only that IP could actually get to see the login screen. I hope that everyone understand. If anyone tells me that it's possible to do this tell me so. When I got the system for my windows machine they told me that only Windows could be used. I know it doesn't make much sence, since it's going through TCP/IP. I'll be more than glad if anyone has one of these running like that. Thank you, MIguel. ------ =_NextPart_001_01BE44CA.6BA3A300 Content-Type: text/html Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3DUS-ASCII"> <META NAME=3D"Generator" CONTENT=3D"MS Exchange Server version = 5.5.1960.3"> <TITLE>Cable Modem and FreeBSD</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2>n Wed, 20 Jan 1999, username wrote:</FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2>> Has anyone setup a FreeBSD system on @Home's = cable modem service? </FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2>Yes, quite a few times.</FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2>> = = = = If so,</FONT></P> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2>> what are the caveats?</FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2>None, everything should run smooth.
