Re: DSL setup
Thanks for a good point Lowell, How do I know if mine doesn't support PPP? I just thought it would use PPPoE because Windows XP uses PPPoE.

[Mine doesn't.] Jake, We bottom post here. You need to find out what protocol your ISP uses ie ask them. BTW Widows XP supports more than PPPoE but is realy your modem that does the work. Chances are that your ISP (Pac Bell?) does use PPPoE but I maybe wrong. rob ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: dsl setup
Presuming your dsl provider doesn't use a username and password to connect (something called PPPoE), then you can just connect using DHCP and you'll be on. The more likely scenario is that they do indeed use PPPoE, so you'll need to install the pppoe client, set up your username and password, then connect. I would strong suggest using a third option, which would be to purchase a hardware dsl router that will make setting this up much simpler, allow you to share your connection with other users simply enough, and add an additional layer of protection. This will allow you to use DHCP to get an IP address and not have to worry about a PPPoE client.
