When running a NIC, Arachne doesn't show your IP unless *you* have
manually entered said IP in your arachne.cfg file, or set it up as
environmental variable.
If you enter static IP, Gateway, etc in cfg file, nothing is set as an
environmental variable because it doesn't vary so no need for variable.
*NOW* if I hit ALT-M I see my local IP of 10.5.16.15 but *only* because
that's what I told Arachne my IP was. <G>
Thanks to whomever said to mess with Telnet -- it was the only way I had
to find out what I needed. So far using static IP is working fine.
Earlier tonight I started to download slackzip ... was more than
half-way through when I realized I didn't *have* 34Mbytes space on the
HDD. Did a lot of moving and storing elsewhere, so later I can pull
down the package and do a "DOS Linux install" ... at least that gives me
a chance to get familiar with it.
l.d.
P.S. I feel cheated. I'm supposed to be able to get 10Mbs downstream,
and that means 34Mbytes should take 34 seconds, right? It took me 38
minutes to download 18Mbytes! };> If I didn't know how internet works,
I might actually be disappointed. I doubt the doze cable users on the
system know the difference. <G>
