Cgocable.net, they are not with @home network yet, they plan to switch...
But this is wierd, here's what I know now for a fact:
with pump I always get ip #1 with dhcpcd I always get ip #2 ... interesting huh ?,
if you like more stuff email me privetly, and I'll let you in the box.
Now here's another question it's off topic, but just check this out.
I installed rh6 few days ago, and then got the IP masq to work, and so the linux
box was used.
Keep in mind that I downloaded few things like dhcpcd and iptraff
Then last night my bro forgot to shut it down properly so, he just turned it off,
today when I turned it on, it had tons of disk errors. All the errors had to do
with the stuff I downloaded, after the fix, nothing that I have downloaded was left
on the hard drive.....
