Moyer" Reply-To: pmoyer@hyperon.com To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: 4.0-STABLE vs. cable modems? Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 16:16:10 -0400 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The cable company is installing my cable modem on Wednesday. Are there any gotchas of which I should be wary when they come to do the installation and the configuration? I've got 4.0-STABLE, with two NICs, running ipfw, as a masquerading firewall. I'm using ppp's NAT right now, but when they assign me an IP address, I'll have to change that. I can also disable the ppp startup and just assign a static IP to the interface. I'll also need to change /etc/resolv.conf and the mail hosts. Is there anything else I need to watch for?
