Not too shabby for a linux newbie! :)
Anyway, Gary, Don't rock the boat: Spoof the MAC address in your router and
put it to bed.
By the way, the IP address assigned by AT&T was probably valid, but the
connection was blocked by the router at the head end since the MAC address
didn't match up... Just a vain attempt to slow down the script kiddies.
Cheers!
Dan
