The network device du0 (Modem) will be assigned the IP of you ISP, but net0 (Ethernet Card) will remain the same IP you assigned it at the configuration. >Assuming that this doesn't matter, WHERE do I specify the IP of the linux >box? I was told I'd have to do something with the "route" command.... The route command is mainly for gateways ie route add default 111.222.333.444 will route all packets to 111.222.333.444 (I know these are not legit numbers but are good for the example). To set up the IP address for the net0 you would use ifconfig, or the easies would be to run netconfig. I assume you know the private network IPs?
