Len, I don't use BlueYonder I use an NTL connection. I just put in a router and plug the boxes into that. Dead easy. Routers are dead cheap now and you can then connect all your boxes to BlueYonder if you like.
Tony. -----Original Message----- From: Len Lawrence [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 6:38 AM To: Mandrake newbie Subject: [newbie] BlueYonder Need your help again folks! Been swithering for months about taking up Telewest on their BlueYonder offer. Already have TV and telephone on cable. Next year I may be able to afford a high end notebook, which I would use for the broadband connection, leaving my 2 PCs upstairs on the 56K modem connection to Demon for email. Telewest state that they do not support connection to a Linux box/network, so basically you plug it in and do all the work yourself. My problem is that I haven't the first idea what is required beyond the MAC address for the network card, and DHCP, which I guess stands for something like "dynamic hosting connection protocol". There are no known HOWTOs on broadband connection and Googling returns about 20000 hits for "BlueYonder" +Linux. Haven't turned up anything useful in there so far. One looked promising but started with "First make sure that it all works under Windows". Well, really! So, has anybody here done it for a standalone Mandrake only box? If not, goodbye BlueYonder. -- Len Lawrence ---------------------------------------------------------- Things will get better despite our efforts to improve them. -- Will Rogers ---------------------------------------------------------- -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Business Computer Projects - Disclaimer -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- This message, and any associated attachment is confidential.
