Is there a way to get 2 Linux boxes on the net at the same time?I have 2
boxes and 1 hub.When I tried it on my own it kept telling me that there
was 2 machines with the same hostname and ip address.Is there a way
around it?By the way I access the net via a cable modem.Another qurstion
I have is there a better browser than Netscape 4.7 for mandrake 7.0?Have
tried to upgrade to netscape 4.75 and it won't let me.
