Whatever you do, be careful not to advertise yourself as a DHCP server so that MediaOne can see it. They will (understandably) flip out and cut off your service instantly. Anyone who runs as a DHCP server could, in theory, convince other people's machines to take addresses from them instead of from MediaOne, a huge security danger. -- Mike
