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. -- Michelle Weber umweber@mcs.drexel.edu On Sun, 18 Jul 1999, Joshua Mazess wrote: > Are you running the dhcp client?
