I use embarq with dhcp if that would help. Putting the embarq supplied modem in bridge mode was not a problem, you use a browser to do this. (How stupid is that?) The embarq modem runs some sort of lame embedded Linux (version 1.x.x kernel) and has crude firewall capability (iptables, some NAT, very limited by a "friendly" clicky-point interface to a braindead wizard... so I went to bridge mode without even bothering with that penguin cruft). Embarq, here in central-south Pennsylvania is just crappy service. My line is down 25-50% of the time, and although I pay for megabit I have seldom seen it dload at over maybe 100Kbit, usually more like 64Kbit, i.e. just above dialup speed. I haven't called their customer service. What can they possibly do? Anyway, if my dhcp stuff is of any interest, let me know. dave > Openbsd-newbies mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies > -- This email address is hosted by gmail.
