BTW, I'm using Cox as a > ISP. You can set fxp0 to use a static IP until you get the router working. # ifconfig fxp0 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 # route add default 192.168.1.1 In /etc/rc.conf, you should have: ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP" defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" You should be able to login to the Linksys admin page: http://192.168.1.1 AFAIK, most of the Linksys home networking devices use a blank username and password 'admin' by default. Make sure that the DHCP server is enabled, and restart. HTH, -- Joshua Lokken Open Source Advocate
