Hi, Basically, I am trying to setup a firewall on my cable modem, but the cable company has made it to where the DHCP server will only serve requests from a specific MAC address. The cable company's tech support is kinda being jerks about setting up a firewall, because I guess they want more money for multiple PC's using the Internet. =P I can't switch NIC's because they are different bus types (The NIC is PCI but my router is a 486 w/ ISA only). Is there a way that FreeBSD can send the DHCP server another MAC address instead of the one on the card? I have seen a few posts around that say Linux and FreeBSD can do it, but they don't really say how. Any help will be most appreciated! Thanks, Brett _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
