You don't need a router. I've had a setup very similar to yours in the past (now, I'm on broadband and use OpenBSD for my router/firewall/filter)... Any rate, I FreeBSD will make an excellent router/more for you. It just takes a learning process. Provide the outputs from the "uname -a", "dmesg -a", "ifconfig -a", "cat /etc/rc.conf", cat "/etc/hosts" commands. If you have compiled and installed a custom kernel, then also provide the kernel ("cat "/sys/i386/conf/KERN.NAME.GOES.HERE"). There are many possibilities for the server not talking to the modem, and it's impossible for anyone on this list to narrow those possibilities down unless you provide a reasonable amount of information. Mike PS "Top posting" is where you provide your reply to the top of the message. It makes following messages on mailing lists _very_ annoying. Lots of folks on the list are sticklers about it, but it _does_ help if replies are appended to the bottom of the message (or integrated within the message). :) _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
