Thanks for the suggestion, but my setup is [PC] --> [Router] -->
[Cablemodem] --> etc. As I had said, it worked fine with everything prior
to rc2; in fact, right now, I'm running beta 3...it seems to work better
for me than rc1 did.
Actually, I'm not touching rc2 again...someone told me to try installing
firestarter on it, so I put the rpm on a floppy, installed rc2, couldn't
access my floppy drive. Put the rpm on a cdrom, and then couldn't access
either my cd-rw, or my dvd player. rc2 was nothing short of a colossal
failure for me...really, really hoping that whatever problems will be
sorted out by the final release, so that my fear that there is a bug that
only manifests itself on my pc, or almost as bad, that I'm a total idiot,
will be assuaged.
