But you could work around if the ISP always send you the same IP. You could write on a paper settings received from dhcp under windows: - your local-address - netmask - default gateway IP - dns1 and dns2 - protocol used (routed IP or bridged ethernet) Then on linux, you could set same settings without using dhcp. - routed IP use atmarp/atmarpd - bridged ethernet use br2684ctl > Second I am trying to do this manually now but the instructions on this web > page: > http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/mandrake/index-es.html > Asks me to make a file called firmware-extractor.txt executable, how can I > make it executable? > chmod 755 firmware-extractor it should not have a .txt extension, linux won't care about that but as it is an c program compiled to an elf excutable, it woul look strange to name it with .txt Gilles Gilles Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Binary/unsupported file stripped by Listar -- -- Type: image/jpeg -- File: config1.JPG -- Binary/unsupported file stripped by Listar -- -- Type: image/jpeg -- File: config2.JPG Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
