Only one computer is connected to the modem at a time and they are all 
disconnected from one another.

>All of my installs were on blank hard drives as well.
Very promising...

I have been saying no since I don't have a ip6 compliant card.

I have done all this, but then it tells me that it can't resolve 
ftp.freebsd.org?  I am pointing it to a valid name server, so I am still 
confused... IT gives me the same error whether or not I have the cable 
connection attached.  This baffles me...

>your network card on bootup?  Perhaps a conflict?
I am getting a bunch of conflicts, 8 to be precise, but I naturally try to 
resolve them... The probe is defaulting to the TI thunderlan driver 
tl0...  I have a compact netilligent 10/100 card in there...Do you know 
which is a close match? I am assuming that the one that it found is the 
correct one.

>DHCP should assign the DNS servers along with the IP address, as well as

So, what should I do when I get to the screen that asks me to 
configure  the network adapter?  The screen asking me to fill in host, 
domain, ip, gateway, etc...  Leave the goodies blank or fill them in with 
valid place holders?  This is a question that I had.

I am the only one on this line....

Thanks again...
