I do have another question about this setup. Now that I installed my router when I boot up I get the error: "Could not look up internet address for dhcppc2. This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct the problem by adding dhcppc2 to the file /etc/hosts." Also, now when I enter a terminal instead of get myusername@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I get myusername@dhcppc2. Can someone tell me how to change this back or why it is happening? Thanks, Chris.
