I have a Cisco 675 DSL box. My DSL is QWORST. I know they have upgraded the software/firmware for it but after looking at the instructions, I decided to wait until I had a month to spare. My telephone line comes to the 675 and it, in turn goes to a Linksys 5-port hub. The computers connect there. I don't seem to have a problem staying connected but i have noticed a strange phenomena in my Win2K hardware setup. I define the IP numbers for the computer boxes. They are in the series 10.0.0.10, etc. But the win2k box shows, in addition to the NIC card, a WAN Miniport (IP) #2 in the hardware setup and it has a yellow exclamation mark. Everything works ok but I have been told to let the Cisco play DHCP and assign IP numbers. Also, how about using Netbui for the connection? Any comments? OR, since it works, should I let sleeping dogs lie? unkadean --
