This is Robert Raisch's unofficial M1X FAQs. http://www.internautics.com/faqs/NE-M1X-FAQ.txt http://www.internautics.com/faqs/NE-M1X-LAN-FAQ.txt Here is a very complete FAQ on Linux and Mediaone. http://rlz.ne.mediaone.net/linux/index.html Basically, Mediaone is like being on Ethernet. Your IP address is dynamic, but stays the same most of the time. They occasionally renumber the network. Your host name has a DNS entry in M1X's DNS servers, so you can reach your system by name from the Internet. The IP address is associated with your NIC's MAC address, so you cannot plug the cable modem into any random box. The only thing M1X gets upset about is when you either act as a DHCP server, or when you somehow allow people outside the network usurp your domain. Alan Jay weiner, who contributed to the above FAQs had that happen when he was using Wingate. +----------------------------------------------+ Gerald Feldman <gaf at mediaone.net> Boston Computer Solutions and Consulting ICQ#156300
