Well, it's working. Thanks to everybody who responded, everything was helpful. I wound up tweaking my firewall to accept DHCP (although I would have thought it was already doing so, it was the normal `setup-during-install' redhat firewall), and then finding some DNS server IPs with google (comcast wouldn't give me any DNS IPs, they insisted that they would be assigned dynamically)... And it worked! It isn't blazingly fast, perhaps I'll experiment with making a different DNS the primary one... Thanks again! _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
