Telocity gave the modem 1 IP address 216.222.176.234 and the Computer another 216.222.176.233 You might first have to configure the telocity modem http://10.5.2.1 or something like that. That's all I can remember. I switched to Comcast cable(fiber) and it is blaaaazing fast.

I'm using a Telocity (now DirecTV, soon to be nobody) ADSL "modem", and have opted to try to make it work with their system, rather than spending the $26 to get their modem shipped to me (what can I say, I'm cheap)... I've already downloaded roaring penguin, & it is ready for installation. 1) I have a static IP, but do not know what it is. 2) I am currently configured for DHCP ethx configuration 1st question - has anyone else made this swithc? What I'm getting at is this -"did Telocity/DirecTV use PPPoE & their modem handled it, so I should just need to reset the modem & maybe it will work?" 2nd question - if the 1st quenstions' answer is "no," what are the steps I need to do to setup roaring penguin - yes, I know, RTFM, but I'm looking for some insight, here.... I think the big problem I have is going to be setting up my IP address when I don't even know it. I understand that the modem that Earthlink would ship me handles the PPPoE conversion itself & uses DHCP for my machines connection to it - Is this true? - THey call their modem a Bridged Ethernet ADSL Modem (I think it's a two-wire job). 3rd question - what changes do I need to make to my startup scripts (esp. for my ethernet *e.g. ifup, etc.*), to get the whole mess to work?
