Sorry I didn't clarify raker..
My cable modem plugs into a hub, where 4 other various computers are connected too.
I'm currently utilizing IPNetRouter on this Macintosh with one ethernet card to share
internet with the three other computers.
The Mac with IPNetRouter (and now Mandrake PPC RC1) grabs an IP from the cable modem
via DHCP.
I was under the impression I could do this under Linux... ? With Mandrake hopefully.
Thank You,
-Zack
