specifically the cables in my head. I seem to have configged the pci
card in this box while being plugged into and using the on-board LAN. I
think the expletive for that is something like !?X$#!? I did get to the
192.168.0.1 page and got that set up OK. I put my IP address (qwest
suggested 192.168.0.2) in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf, and also the
nameserver IPs (the qwest people gave me on the phone) in /etc/resolv.conf.
Ta-da. Everything seems to work. There certainly were a lot of separate
issues here to mess with. I can hardly wait to see what the wireless set
up will be like. Maybe I'll check into a monastery for a few days before
I start. Thanks again Harry, Pat, and all responders who sent advice my
way. I really appreciate the help.
