But here is where I got the info to set up mine... http://www.freebsddiary.org/ipnat.html http://www.freebsddiary.org/natrules.html http://www.freebsddiary.org/natrules.html With FreeBSD 3.4S I was up and running rather quickly. Perhaps an upgrade would help you as it seems the tools keep getting better all the time. If this info does not help, I would like to help you figure it out to get you set up. And I am sure cable modem connection does not matter. In fact, as long as it is a tcp/ip connection over an rj45 cable, you should be good to go not matter how you get the bandwidth. Road Runner comes to Milwaukee in a few weeks. I cannot wait to see how good it is.
