When MAC's boot they aquire a network in the range 65280-65534, and use ZIP GetNetInfo to try & determine the correct network range & zone.

This router also requires a default zone name. Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
