josh, my "provider" doesnt know we exist, kinda a long story, but basically, a former employee made an account and buried it...i dont think we have ppp over ethernet, id have to look at my notes, since it has been a year however, we have a static ip address, and dont use DHCP, although i believe some of the newer kernels will handle it on the windows side, using internet exploder 5.x it has a automatic discovery of a "proxy" server feature that worked like a top! just choose "connect through lan" and it figures it out... needless to say, im happy with it, it hasnt failed, and its is fast and secure! cheers --- Josh Koffman wrote: > "John C.
