I have to give a vote for icdsoft as well. I have only been using it for a few months, and I chose it for a friend who wanted a simple page for their company. The web interface is pretty nice, making it easy for them. awstats, webalizer and I believe phpmyadmin are installed by default. Althoug

Remember you can ifconfig a single NIC with a secondary IP in when using linux/Solaris. This is kind neat since it allows you to easily run two 'networks' on the same media. rockhopper:/etc/rc3.d# ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:20:8F:24:04 inet addr:152.148.8.18

I agree. My parents have comcast and they didn't need to register the computer MAC, just the modem MAC with some web interface. The "install CD" is basically a pretty front end for the webpage, at least as far as I can tell. Just call up Comcast and tell tech support that the tech dropped off the
