While I'm off to the search engines/howto's now, I thought I should also
ask a group who usually knows what they are talking about.
My eldest son has signed up with @Home out of state, and is having a
miserable time getting Linux connected. Any clues or experience or links
that I should pass on to him? He has RH6.0 (and is POd at RH) and SUSE,
and possibly Slackware.
I can share one minor part of the story with the list, which may at least
be amusing. When the cable guy finished the install in Chris' apartment,
he said "And here is your static IP". Well, the IP assigned to Chris'
machine may not change, but after 6 customer support calls one of the
technicians was clued in enough that it still required DHCP for
connection.
Thanks to one and all.
