Actually it is a D-Link 701 (http://www.dlink.com/products/broadband/di701 )
A friend of mine had a linksys and had some problems. I think there was a
windows software application that had to run on one of the PCs. He later
switched to Dlink if that helps you decide. They also have a model with a
built in hub.
Brain is correct the number is something like aa12345.

Hi Charles,
On Tuesday, February 27, 2001, 2:04:20 PM, you babbled something about:

I had a lot of trouble getting pump to work with Comcast (NJ) but here it is
for dhcpcd.
He likely has a hostname to the effect of aa12345.his_county.va.home.com
you only need supply the aa12345 part like so.
/sbin/dhcpcd -d -R -h aa12345 eth0
BTW, @home seems to have a lot of trouble keeping these servers running (at
least in my area) so you may want to just retrieve the settings and set them
up as static. Then you can just use the above call to get a new one if you
ever have to. Mine has not changed for 7 months, and probably the only
reason it changed was because prior to that I had a static address for two
years. Then in their infinite wisdom they decided DHCP was the way to go.
CG> BTW Kelvin, is that a linksys router you are using (in case he has to go
