Internal network is 192.168.1.x.  Server only has one IP, the one
assigned by the ISP (AT&T @Home).

Server is not bound to 192.x, but it does have a route that lets it
reach 192.x through eth0.  eth0 also is the default gateway to the
Internet.  here's what I have...

on SERVER:

No DHCP.  Have a static address for now, but they promise we'll get DHCP
"as soon as they get it working reliably."  Wish they wouldn't bother.

I don't believe there's a difference in ifconfig output... after all
there's only one IP for eth0 and it's always up.  I've never noticed a
difference anyway.

Thanks!
