When I installed Mandrake, I just set up the nic for dhcp and did not have
to worry about the DNS. Apparently, that is done dynamically by RR. Oh, I
did have to set the gateway. I got that from winipcfg in windows.
Now the question is whether or not RR in your area is set up the same way.
Also, if they require a log in, then you will have to locate some scripts to
do this. RR here stopped using the login just before I installed Linux.
Hope this helps,
Wendell
