If you plan to run natd and pipe your network through your machine make sure you don't mention that to the guy who does the installation, though. - I have also a cable modem. I don't know if you guys know the company (MediaOne). But the problems is that it only runs 1 static IP, and only that IP could actually get to see the login screen. I hope that everyone understand. If anyone tells me that it's possible to do this tell me so. When I got the system for my windows machine they told me that only Windows could be used. I know it doesn't make much sence, since it's going through TCP/IP. I'll be more than glad if anyone has one of these running like that. Thank you, MIguel. ------ =_NextPart_001_01BE44CA.6BA3A300 Content-Type: text/html Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Cable Modem and FreeBSD
