Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I really need some help here to connect to the internet with a cable modem. I went through many articles about this but they were all for serial connections. And here is a list of the things that I am not sure of. 1. Do I need to set up PPP? And if PPP is not required what do I have to modify before I can get the internet to work. 2. My ISP assigns dynamic ip addresses therefore I don't know what I should fill in the file rc.conf. 3. Do I have to setup a Domain name server? Thanks for your attention Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
