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

Well, I've got this working in windows now. I had to change the jumpers on
my 2 hard drives so that a windows partition was on a primary ide drive,
and boot into win98.  In here @home would at least try to help. Turns out
my tv card was using the same irq as the nic card, so I ended up having to
remove the tv card, and put the nic card in another pci slot. Also, I am
set up statically now in windows instead of dhcp, cause the @home guys
couldn't figure it out either.  So, it should work the same in linux,
though I am wondering why /proc/interrupts didn't have any conflicts, yet
I was experiencing the same problems? And all of my devices on my computer
work under linux, so they all should have been listed? Any thoughts anyone
before I change my jumpers back on my hard drives and go back to linux?
(It's scary here windows, I haven't booted this partition in over 6
months)
