But that didn't mean anything. The problem is that once the freebox is disconnected from the xDSL line, it becomes completely silent on the network. nmap -O -P0 is meaningless. It does seem to act like a bridge, indeed. Mathieu wrote: > Are you sure you don't scan your computer : the freebox v1 don't have > router mode and act like a bridge.

If you have any suggestion. /er. -- Eric Rannaud http://www.eleves.ens.fr/home/rannaud/
