    OK, the result:

    The _ROUTER_ arrived today and the line was successfully activated for
    broadband. As I just made very clear, I received a router, not a modem.
    It DOES NOT _REQUIRE_ a USB interface. It has both USB and Ethernet
    ports in the back (either is optional).

    OK, so my new problems have started. I connected the modem's Ethernet
    port up to the second NIC in my FreeBSD box. I then used
    /stand/sysinstall to configure the second NIC which it set up all
    lovely. This added the line:

    ifconfig_dc0="DHCP"

    which seemed to make the broadband connection work fine on the FreeBSD
    box. That is basically as far as I have gotten. None of the Windows
    boxes on my network can access the Internet anymore, and I am stumped.
    I've spent all evening reading about and toying with natd and routes and
    routing and everything else to no avail.

    I have the following relevant lines in my rc.conf:

    network_interfaces="tl0 dc0" # tl0 is LAN NIC, dc0 is broadband
    ifconfig_tl0="inet 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0"
    ifconfig_dc0="DHCP"
    gateway_enable="YES"
    defaultrouter="192.168.0.5" # the ip address of the FreeBSD box

    I didn't think I needed DHCP because I wanted to keep all the IP
    addresses static, but that is how FreeBSD configured it, so *shrug*. As
    far as I can see from the configuration of the router, the IP address of
    it is 192.168.1.1. None of the Windows machines can ping this IP
    address. The only thing they can do is resolve hostnames, because the
    FreeBSD box runs pdnsd.

    The result of a netstat -r (beware wrapping):

    Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif
    Expire
    default 192.168.1.1 UGSc 12 45 dc0
    192.168.0 link#2 UC 1 0 tl0
    192.168.0.1 00:0c:76:3a:e2:25 UHLW 2 3650 tl0
    943
    192.168.1 link#1 UC 1 0 dc0
    192.168.1.1 00:90:96:fe:64:b1 UHLW 12 67 dc0
    1200

    Any ideas?

    TIA
