So here's a somewhat simplified question. I narrowed the problem down to routing. Cable modem does dial out when I try to ping something on it's subnet (10.17.56.###), however it does not respond to any broadcast ARP queries about location of DNS server. Goal -- to add cable modem as the default gateway to internet. Symptom -- "add net default: gateway 10.17.56.XXX: Network is unreachable" Problem -- I think modem gateway cannot be added because it's on a different subnet then my NICs. Attempted -- aliasing ed0 to modem subnet.... all 10.17.56 IPs seem to be occupied. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. It's been 2 weeks now that I'm stuck to using windows box :( Marko P.S. If someone on the freebsd-hackers mailing list knows the answer, please reply to my address because I'm not subscribed to freebsd-hackers (yet). P.S.S. On a side note: it would be very interesting to know how MSWin98 does it's network setup, that it has no trouble using the modem.
