Dunno... I'm a firm believer in doing things that hard way first, so that you have a good idea of what's actually happening when you press those buttons from then on.Thanks Lee, I commented out... ;))
One thing that I have noticed is that these routers that offer everything... dns, dhcp, firewall, etc ( mine's an Alcatel Speedtouch 510 ),
None of that sort of, uhhm, stuff, in my case. My desktop box -> iptables box -> cable modem -> whatever -> Paradise DNS.
I'd build yourself a local dns server, plug it on the side of your workstation. It's only a small learning curve... actually pretty logical for a change.
Is this any different to running bind on the workstation and putting 127.0.0.1 into /etc/resolv.conf? The learning curve amounts to a few buttons in yast.
