With 2 comp setting, a switch is really not needed, unless you want to spend an extra 1500/- (minimum) for the "kewl"-ness factor ;-) However, a switch allows room for easy expansion should you add a new comp or a friend brings over a laptop to your place. > Step 4: FC3 will have configured your new network card as 'eth1'.

Setup the caching nameserver that comes with FC3. And have the other boxes use it as their primary NS. It will help make your NS lookup a little faster as you work along. cheers, > Prashant Verma --indra ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
