You can safely leave the domain name blank and set the host name to what you want it to be if we're talking about a home machine that isn't going to be a server. As far as the rest of it (like whether you need to set things up static or use DHCP or PPP), you can probably get the information you need from them. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA+cTlUzgNqloQMwcRAvwuAKCZFPLHaKJkMWodgfg9ACB8l3Nw1QCeNgvZ LJU4YC4P+haG4eW3Qgwp/d0= =V8p4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
