I have the internet connection (802.11b network adapter) plugged into eth0. a hub is plugged into eth1. the PAP2 is plugged into the hub, and a telephone into the hub. on boot I got a message about lost packets, but it went by too fast. I've installed firestarter. I need to set up dhcp, perhaps. how do I ping, or ipconfig the hub? thanks, Thufir
