I managed to get DSL working with FreeBSD somewhat, but I am having some weird connectivity issues. At random times, I will lose network connectivity. The Westell modem says there is full connection via ethernet and phone, but I am unable to ping their gateway and dhclient is unable to obtain a new lease. The strange part is that if I plug my WinXP box into the modem directly, I obtain an ip and can surf. If I then plug the BSD box back into the modem, I can once again obtain leases and talk to the 'net, but about half the time I need to restart natd for the inside network to be able to do anything. System/ISP info: 4.7-RELEASE-p5 rc.conf ifconfig_sis0=3D"DHCP" default_gateway=3D"4.xx.xxx.1" natd_program=3D"/sbin/natd" natd_enable=3D"YES" natd_interface=3D"sis0" natd_flags=3D"-f /etc/natd.conf" VerizonDSL in north Seattle So, any ideas on how to stabilize my connection? -Derrick
