Okay, I have the network card set to DHCP. I have the IP addresses that I got from SBC entered in to the ADSL connection screen. The network card is not finding an IP address via DHCP. I'm also getting an error that says something like, "SIOCDELRT not found". I don't think those are the actual words to the error message, but the general idea. What is SIOCDELRT?
I tried going to 192.168.0.1, but I got a "connection refused" error in Mozilla.
