As far as FreeBSD is concerned, you are on a Ethernet; your cable modem never comes into play at all. The only question is whether you have a static IP address or use DHCP. So, do you know which it is? If you are static, you can go into /stand/sysinstall and to post-install configuration for networks. If you want to do it the 'hard' (i.e. do what /stand/sysinstall is up to behind the scenes) way, just ask. OTOH, if you are on a DHCP net... things are a bit tougher. -- Crist J.
