Jae,
I have but one box, I used the winipcfg and got all my information. My
DHCP and DNS are the same 24.95.227.33 and x.x.x.32 is another dns. When you
say rounter I have a default gateway 65.33.112 When i installed it i chose
custome and selected for every pack to be installed, as i have 55 gigs, so
im not worried about space. Can you help me by telling me under the drake
config or the internet config what do i have to set up? I know that kind of
general but iv been working on this for 2 days and getting a little
fustrated, ack. Also does it matter what i chose for my domain name as i
chose bodavis.cfl.rr.com.

now. I am installing the lnx4win version. In windoz I got the DHCP, Default
Gateway, my IP, my subnetmast, which is 255.255.252.0, notice the 252
there?, and my DNS. I have used the ifconfig -a function and my card is
being reconized. BTW I have Road Runner cable connection I have tried most
every variant I can to get the internet connection up. I am a true newb to
Linux but frow what i understand the DHCP should configure my system for me.
I have before set up a NetMax server but when I did that it used a static
ip. Is there a function of sometype that i can run to set up my connection?
Im lost here.

don't have a router, you don't have a DHCP server. if you don't, then you
have to get your internet provider's DNSs addresses (Linux will ask you
those info. during installation))
