Roadrunner

[Jerry Feldman]

I've had my cable modem for over 4.5 years. I have a LanCity supplied by 
AT&T BB. 
AT&T BB uses standard dhcp to supply you with your IP address. My 
SuSE Linux works out of the box with DHCLIENT. I currently use a 
Linksys router because I have up to 6 computers in the house which 
might be online at any one time (3 Linux, 3 Windows). I used to have 
several good FAQs specific to Mediaone, but those URLs no longer 
work. They do not block any ports except possibly those associated with 
netbuei. I run Apache as well as sendmail. I specifically turn off telnet, 
ftp, talk and a few more.
