Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi; I'm using a cable modem and it works well with my Macintosh, but I am having routing problems with my FreeBSD server. It doesn't seem to find Rogers' router, it only finds hosts on our local LAN. (Rogers being my Cable Provider - www.wave.ca). I am still trying to figure it out. In BC we are given 2 static Class A IP's - (one for the modem and one for the client computer) Ben Pepa >Hi, > >We are getting a cable modem in January 98, it connects to a ethernet >adapter via a standard RJ45 UTP cable.
