Mine was done monday. Two tips. Firstly ditch the SMC network card that
Optus give you and use some other one that is recognised easily. Second
download dhclient v2. Once I did those two things I had it running in
10m minutes. Before I did this I wasted a few hours of stuffing around.
Then setup your ipchains. I have had a few very small attempts at
connections. We can share configs if you want.
