Let me give you the info that I can right now.
btw, I only have one monitor between the LEAF box and the Win machine, and I
can't access my email while I am playing with the LEAF.
So this whole setup is turning out to be extra fun.
ok, here goes.

here is the setup info I got from my ISP
IP Address: 66.51.222.67
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 66.51.222.1
Host: blushadw
Domain: dslextreme.com
DNS Server: 66.51.205.100
66.51.206.100
That's about it for now.
I'll got play with the LEAF and see if my Win machine can ping it.
