What are the addresses of the MediaOne DNS servers. I am trying to 
configure a system just like the one you are describing here, but I 
have not found any info on DNS with M1.

I have my two ethernet cards working ok (at least I am 99% sure of 
that), and can connect to my linux server with the 'external link' 
from my 'internal' net, but all I seem to be able to do from the 
server is ping an IP address on the M1 network. Netscape does not 
even work from the server (unless I boot in Win98 - everything works 
fine then).

Is there anything more to setting up DHCP on the NIC with the 
external connection than selecting 'DHCP' on the properties page from 
linuxconf??

Also, could all of this also be done from a 'linux-router project' 
boot disk?? I think I would really like to go that route if possible.

Thank-you,
