Thanks Stan (and all) this seems to be the consensus, and I'll certainly work on it. Is there anything tricky I should know about dhcp--I can get access to an ethernet connection, but not to a specific ip. This would be the fastest surely. I have a supported card (3com) but I could not get connected. Can anyone give a from scratch config for this?
