It turns out that the problem was the network card-- the cablemodem didn't
like it. Switching that network card with the one used for the internal
network (Tulip chipset) fixed everything.

Ok, I'm totally frustrated. To bring anyone who doesn't know up to date:
My previous service was "wantweb". I was given a static IP address, upon
which I set up a debian (potato) box. I used IP masquerading to connect all
my windows boxes to it (for game playing, you know).
Now I find that the co
My connection seems to be working fine through the cablemodem now, with very
little difficulty (although it's still slow-- I need to look into that)

This worked. It worked really well. DHCP now appears to work with one minor
problem--
It appears that the DNS isn't being caught by the DHCP-Client. My
resolv.conf is left with nothing but "search" in it-- and this appears to be

Right now I'm in the process of testing the connection to see if I can find
the problem, and the problem appears to be something with my linux setup.

Yesterday I finally got my cable modem (Adelphia). Hooked it up to windows,
and it worked wonderfully. I was told that, in general, Adelphia doesn't
change the IP information, and it would be safe to copy it to the Debian
box. So I wrote down the information, moved the cable modem over to my

Ok, I recently got a Maxtor 80Gb HD, so I figured I'd start with a fresh
install of Potato on my system. My problem is that I can't seem to get a
kernel that gives me both IP Masquerading and support for the drive.
Now, on the kernels that the Masquerading fails on, it isn't a total
failure.
