Hi all!

If there is any question concerning the router, and if you have a spare
machine with a pair of ethernet cards, download an ISO image of
SmoothWall Express 2.0 (www.smoothwall.org), burn a CD, install

after doing a ifdown -a and ifup -a I could verify the mtu by ifconfig

I don't know if this will help, but give it a try...
1) ifdown eth0 and then ifup eth0
This shuts dowm the ethernet interface, then restarts it.
2) ifdown eth0 then remove the modules from memory, then re-install the
modues and bring the eth0 back up.
Hope this helps,

Hi Jake,
Connecting to a hub without a firewall means that each machine becomes
an exposed node and that all communications between them can be picked
up by a packet sniffer.
So that's the root passwords given away and a shortcut to either having

Great, thanks for the info. I'm a bit time-constrained (i.e. lazy), so

Hi Matt
The following link:
http://linuxrouter.sourceforge.net/documentation/LRP-2.9.4/
has documentation on doing this, for the Debian-based Linux Router
Project. For various reasons, you might want to set a machine up with that
instead.

Russ,
You should have no problem using the @home modem with linux. I'm using it
right
now, and it really flies. The only thing I have left to do is to set up dhcp,
but
for the time being, I'm using the static ip they gave me.

I also have a cable modem with @HOME. They are relativley easy to get
working.
Set the ip of the nic they gave you to 24.1.106.xxx. Then set the netmask to
255.255.255.0. The gateway is 24.1.106.1. Then use the DNS servers they gave
you.
They should have given you a name for you
Stuart,
in Win98, you need to set the gateway and DSN addresses of the client.
The
gateway is the local network address of the inside NIC on your cable modem
box. The DNS addresses are those of the ISP (24.129.x.xx)or whatever.
That much I know; I'm still stuck on one-way cable

I installed the dhcpcd package, pluged rj45 into the modem and the
card, and it worked (note: dhcpCd not dhcpd). It helped that I had
compiled a kernel with the ehternet drivers.
Be sure to check with you cable co that they use 'dhcp' and not some
proprietary gunk.
