try calling @home service. they can direct you to their website which "shows"
your current ip#/gateway #/dns #'s. once you get these, use netconf (or
linuxconf > netconf) and enter the #'s in directly. for you email address smp
#'s etc...use actual "numbers #" and not "$mail" (or characters).
the above is how i do mine. somewhat difficult the first 1 or 2 times but is
easy after you learn it. also, remeber to restart the network
(linuxconf/netconf does this automatically) after you make changes.
dunno about dhcp or bootp...tried dhcp and didn't work.
think cox also has a "howto" page on the @home and linux/unix (or it maybe
titled other o/s's...dunno)...you should find it in support > how to setup
@home (and maybe "advanced setup"...etc)
