I think you mentioned that this would be going in a winme box so unless
anythings changed since the last release just select tcp/ip properties for
your nic in the network control panel. On the first tab select 'obtain ip
automatically', disable the dns in the dns tab, turn off any wins... and
unbind file/printer sharing to the nic on the bindings tab. You'll then have
to change your computers name to some ugly letter/number combo assigned by
@home and you'll be up and running. Of course these things do come with
windows instructions.
In linux, you could use dhcpcd (man dhcpcd).... otherwise pretty much any
network configuration utility will work (eg. webmin). Just set the nick to
use dhcp. Unless it gives you an option to pass a hostname you'll have to
change your hostname to that supplied by @home. You can always manually edit
the dhcp ifup scripts if you're desperate to keep your hostname.
