I had originally had Debian setup to use pppoe to connect to
verizon.net using DSL and it worked. I just setup a small home network using a
Linksys DSL/Cable Router, on Windows it works fine, both computers connect
shares work, both can use the internet. I need to know how to configure Debian
to connect to the router. As I understand it, what I need to do is disable
pppoe, set it up to connect via Ethernet, configure it do do a dhcp lookkup to
the router for the ip address, though this machine it should be 196.192.1.100
according the linksys's documentation as it is the first machine and in Windows
it uses this ip address. Second Question, how do you set up to connect to
Windows Shares, I guess this is Samba. I have a laptop that is off and on the
network that I would like be able to connect to.
