I saw the instructions when doing the old Dell install. My dread is, I've never done one before. One good thing tho, it's been around a good while now. All the bugs and kinks in the install docs have been worked out by now. Follow the docs and it should work. >> Thanks to all. It running, apparently with IPv6 at that.

Kinda be stupid not to include something that will be a necessity before to long anyway. Almost feel sorry for the DSL folks. I tried to tell them competition was going to come and clean their clock. They lost almost all their customers to fiber within two months. Cheaper and around 20 times faster. I might add, down time for maintenance is announced in advance. Even that is rare. The DSL folks, it just went down. No warning or anything. Only bad side of IPv6, it's a lot of typing for all that. o_O Dale :-) :-)
