In local.freebsd-questions you write: [...] >Goal -- to add cable modem as the default gateway to internet. >Symptom -- "add net default: gateway 10.17.56.XXX: Network is >unreachable" [...] <aside> I don't know how your cable modem works, but the ones I've seen don't act as gateways, but rather as a very long "extension cable." The IP address you have been assigned should be set for the interface connected to the modem -- the modem does not have an address of its own. Then again, this may not be true for your modem, so... </aside> [...] >P.S.S. On a side note: it would be very interesting to know how MSWin98 >does it's network setup, that it has no trouble using the modem. Check in the Control Panel, somewhere in the incomprehensible mess under "Network", also run "winipcfg" and "netstat -r". Whatever values windows is using for IP, netmask, default gateway, dns server etc should work just fine with FreeBSD as well. If values are retrieved via DHCP, you'll have to run DHCP on FreeBSD too. $.02, /Mikko -- Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
