It is not quite that. I failed to mention the reason I am on a DHCP server
is that I am on a cable modem and my IP is dynamically assigned by my ISP.
I would go ahead and install a second NIC and put everything behind a
firewall and assign my own IP's except for the fact that I need to move
between Windows and Linux quite often and it would disrupt my wife's web
surfing. You know how it is if Momma aint happy! I could just see me
rebooting during one of her online spades games. I'd be dead!
Sorry for not mentioning that important fact in my earlier post.
Thanks again,
Wendell
