If not then I guess it doesn't matter. The dsl modem is on bge0, which ifconfig reports as bge0: flags=8843 mtu 1500         options=1a         inet6 fe80::211:11ff:febd:be3a%bge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1         ether 00:11:11:bd:be:3a         media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) My expectation (hope) is to change the "10base" in the media: line to "100base" or "1000base" to gain any throughput advantage that is possible. The internal network is on re0, which ifconfig reports as re0: flags=8843 mtu 1500         options=1b         inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255         inet6 fe80::240:f4ff:feb4:841a%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2         ether 00:40:f4:b4:84:1a         media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX )         status: active I'd like the change the "100base" in the media: line to a "1000base", if possible. thanks for your eyes! lane
