I second this. I have didn't have to do anything special except during the
installation I select the dhcp option; it just worked like it was suppose
to. I can offer any help beyond this.

Subject: Re: [newbie] LinkSys Cable Router & Linux MAndrake 7.1
I ran Mandrake 7.0 and it automatically found the LinkSys and set it up, and
I was on the net without doing anything. I have since installed SuSE 7.0 on
the same machine with equal ease. (I'm DHCP to an adsl.) How to config it
manually is beyond my capability, since I don't understand the terminology
well enough to answer the questions the config routine asks.
