I found PART of my original problem - that involving the
inability to connect to the router and the net when my
second card was installed. Kudzu did detect the new
card but it was assigned to eth0 instead of leavin my
3com at eth0 and the new card going to eth1.
As for the rest, I will give it a go. All I know is that
no matter what method I used to try to determine what IP
uswest was assigning me, all I would ever see was
10.0.0.2 for my box and 10.0.0.1 for my router. I couldn't/
can't even get the actual IP from within the router itself.
When I telnet into it, I am unable to see any IP info
beyond 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2.
I'm tired now and must get up early tomorrow so I will
have to leave this off until tomorrow afternoon. Thank you
for the information and aid. I am confident I will get
it working...though I am not familiar with OpenLinux 2.3
(on the laptop). There are enough subtle differences from
RH that it is just a little confusing.
