Thanks for the ultra-fast non-condescending responses! I really *really* appreciate them. I should have told you guys more specifically what my problems were on.
When I'm going through the networking setup, it asks me whether to set the last bits at 0 or 1 or if I have a different Broadcast address. When I go onto winipcfg, I get the following under Host Information: Node Type: Broadcast. This doesn't tell me if it sets all last bits to 0 or 1 or what? Or does it? I also didn't get the Gateway thing. In my winipcfg, it says that the Default Gateway is *.*.*.* (where the *s are wildcard IP #s). Is this the Gateway for Linux? I started by setting everything up like an ethernet device, and the modem says it's in link with the computer, but the computer cannot look up web addresses, when I run dselect under the ats (?-you know, the kind that downloads stuff) system. -Sera [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Robert Rati <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >The broadcast is the address that your machine will send >info out.
