That's for you to decide... I assume the network is connected to your cable modem. You need to make sure the network addresses on the cable modem, and the pc(s) that need to connect to it are in the same network range: Example: modem: 10.0.0.138 (like adsl in .nl) pc: 10.0.0.150 interface eth0 inet static address 10.0.0.150 network 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 Network should be the same as the address, only with a 0 in the end. Netmask should be 255.255.255.0. (This is not the whole truth, before people start correcting me, but it will do in this case). For more info, check the networking howto's. Network ranges you can safely use at home include: 10.x.y.z (fill in whatever you want for x and y, your network has anything in z) 192.168.x.y (fill in whatever for x, your hosts use y) -- Mark Janssen -- maniac(at)maniac.nl -- GnuPG Key Id: 357D2178 Unix / Linux, Open-Source and Internet Consultant @ SyConOS IT Maniac.nl Unix-God.Net|Org MarkJanssen.org|nl SyConOS.com|nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
