I used to be a Qwest customer in St. Paul, MN, so I've been there, done that. (Still live in state, btw). Simply set the following line in your /etc/rc.conf file: ifconfig_(interface here)="DHCP" once that is in place, from the /etc directory, type ./netstart and all should be well.

I just moved to Minnesota. I've aquired DSL from Qwest using the recommended MSN as an ISP. They supplied a modem called Arescom 800. It responds to an ip address (192.168.1.1) when pinged and also displays a status web page when queried by a browser. The windoze box talks to it fine, but the FreeBSD box won't. Fbsd will sucessfully ping all machines on the LAN, but will not get a response from the modem. I don't understand what's going on here. Does anyone out there use a similar setup? Have you had problems? MSN says the modem does DHCP, has a firewall, and runs Nat. If that's true, I think I'm screwed. HELP...????
