Re: [PLUG] Re: Changing DSL setup

[Art Alexion <art.alexion@verizon.net>]

Paul,

Thanks for trying to help, but there never was an uplink on the hub.  The 
Linux machine had two NICs, eth0 for the LAN, and eth1 for the connection to 
the DSL modem.  Everything on the hub was peer to peer.

This small network consists of 2-4 computers, usually one Linux, one w2k.  
Occasionally, I turn on an old 486 VLB that has old data on it, and we plan 
on connecting wirelessly with iBook OSX 10.4.  I never set up DHCP and only 
used hosts files and hard coding of IP addresses.  The router assigns the 
other machines IP addresses dynamically, and I'm not sure how to integrate 
that into the LAN.

Sorry if I sound a bit thick on this.
