Nope - the router will be configured to talk to the ISP, but your computer still needs to know how to talk to the router. If you use a DHCP client, the computer gets that information from the DHCP server (in a home setup, that's the router itself). Otherwise, you get to set it up yourself. Unsurprisingly, most systems will use dhcp by default. But LFS, being what it is, leaves that up to the user. Simon.
