Jerry, From one who made the switch about 2 weeks ago from ATT@home to ATT@play *grin* I can say. Ignore most of what they tell you. It was straight forward DHCP for us here. The only hassle was teaching the weenies at ATT that the reason I and even windwoze users were having trouble was because they had the gateway and your IP number on two seperate subnets. Yes I know this is doable but doing it creates more problems than it is worth. Install the dhcp packages, set your external nic to use dhcp and wait for the light to appear on the modem. It worked here. hope it works there as well.
