And how to fix this? :-S Erm, does your ISP "modem" definitely offer a DHCP service? In that case it would be a "router". Maybe you need to talk PPPoE instead. Have a look at their instructions for configuring a Windows client. If it talks about setting up a dialler, where you enter a username and password, then it's PPPoE. For a FreeBSD PPPoE client, look at /usr/ports/net/mpd HTH, Brian.
