Don't know why but thats what I've > been hearing. It has to do with device drivers. An external router/modem connect to either a hub/switch or directly to your network card. On either case you are connecting to the device through your network card (for which you need to make sure it will work with FreeBSD). Most network cards work with FreeBSD, but I like the Intel Pro 10/100 cards Does that help? Also you didn't tell us any details about your ISP. Do you have DSL or ADSL? Do you have a modem or a router? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
