No routers. Just a 1GB switch and the DSL modem. The DSL modem is a router, but do not know if the routing table stuff is only for redirecting WAN stuff to internal 192 LAN addresses. There is no manual for the damn thing. > Also, can you dial out with a modem? I know that's so 20th century, but > it will bypass the DSL box outbound. I haven't had a modem attached to a system for a decade :-) Looks like I'll have to start a nameserver and have it listed first in resolv.conf so that I can have it point www.vidiot.com and vidiot.com to the LAN address.
