Re: [Plug] redhat, linksys, and suburban@home :-(

I'm not running dhcp, I'm going to try it tonight. /sbin/ifconfig looks
ok, is there anything special I should pay attention to? I am comparing my
system with another system I set up, (not in the same house), which has
comcast@home. In Windows the setup is as follows - obtain ip address
automatically, disable wins, no gateway, enable dns with my assigned
hostname, and the bens1.pa.home.com domain, and their dns servers. Also,
I need to put my hostname in computer name, and @home in workgroup, and in
whatever web browser, i have to use auto proxy config set to
http://proxy:8080, and that is everything.
