Nope, that's not it unless their is another part of it that comes up almost half screen with a little wizard guy with a magic wand that opines as to how he's gonna help stupid and drooling you to set up a network, PPPoE, Serial or Blue Tooth internet configuration. Maybe if I just delete eth0 it'll show up? I've tried every other darn thing, and my $%$^@#^ static connection to my DSL modem set to passthrough mode has died. So, I'm using DHCP like a whipped runt puppy. Question in my head here... do I need to set up a route from my machine to the dsl modem which has the address 192.168.1.254 ??? I have the static IP set on this #%^#&! machine along with the DNS server to #$%^&* BellSouth, the $^(%#@$%^& gateway which is on the other end of the DSL modem that I have to get to. So, I think I need a static route to the #%*#%$ modem. I used to have to do that with serial $&$*$^ modems as well. Something has to give here, and I believe it must be my understanding, which could certainly bear !@#$%^&* broadening. It's also been suggested to put the DSL modem into bridge mode. I literally have no clue about that, but I see that the #%&*% DSL modem can be set to that #$&*$#&!! mode. If anyone has a clue and need the IP #$%^# I will be more than #%^#^ happy to post it all &$#!$&^* here. > > ================================================ > > My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: > > "There are two Great Sins in the world... > > ...the Sin of Ignorance, and > > ...the Sin of Stupidity. > > Only the former may be overcome."
