Have set up home network, linux machine with ppp connection, windoze and FreeBSD running on other machines. Have been looking into cable or dsl. My expectations where that I could have setup done on windoze machine and then swap out for Linux or FreeBSD to hang the network on. Also expected that I could register a domain name and run a server. Both cable and dsl seem to use DHCP....so this precludes a registered domain name? For seamless switch from windoze ISP setup to network looks like I should set up a duel boot machine (I assume the MAC address stays the same...card specific not OS specific?). How does one come up with a service that will provide a fixed IP address and name servers (this is what I an looking for...right?). I am in North Andover, I thank any and all for pointing in the right direction.
