I have done this already and setup as per the mail, 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.1 Those are all the IP's that i can use seeing that I do not have access to any DNS IP's.

Linux box sees the internet ok from the cable modem and other nic eth1. I setup eth0 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0. The cable modem is also usb and it sees that as another nic, so I disabled it. -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'SKIPPY' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061, Australia:: PH:61733002161 Practising Geriatric, Retired Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
