well the internet connection survived the reboot but the ipaddress has changed and the mac address is still empty. Also the modem doesn't show the device as active yet i am using it on the interne now. Works. don't know how but it works.

Im in but im not sure how. On ghost-bsd though.

I did an ifconfig alc0 link my:computer's:mac:address:in:here

then went back into rc.conf and edited that line back to ifconfig_alc0="DHCP"

and it shows up. at ip address .20

My modem admin page show nothing connected by the Ethernet. I suppose I could try adding the static address using e MAC address of my computer and the .14 IP address in the modem admin page,

My modem admin page show nothing connected by the Ethernet.

Using ifconfig_fxp0 doesn't seems to work with that line. Using ifconfig_alc0 allows me to disable and reenable the networking but I still get ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 on my ifconfig output but the inet is now 192.268.0.14 with a broadcast of 192.268.0.255

Oh ok I'm slow, you mean swap those lines in re.conf?

Re entered without the quotes and equals sign and still no internet. Cable modem admin page. The cable modem says I am connected to the Internet by the way,

The first command gets me as far as my router admin page but not to the Internet. The second command gets me no further. It says did you mean set ifconfig_fxp0 inet 192.168.1.14 net ask 255.255.255.0. ? Without the quotes and the equals sign
