Hello,

Just set up my cable modem but cant get it connect to the net.

I think need help with the setting in rc.conf.

ifconfig_fxp0="inet broadcast 255.255.255.255 arp debug"

Im not sure the above setting is correct or not.
Pls point me out.

ifconfig -m fxp0
fxp0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
  ether 00:a0:c9:8c:3f:b5
  media: autoselect 
supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UT
P <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP


And do i need a DHCP client for my cable modem?
Installed dhcp-1.0pl2 from freebsd's port collection.
But the dhcpd.conf file is kinda complicated to setup, can someone show 
me an example? (sorry im too busy,no time to figure it out.:< )

Thanks a lot!!

kevin
