<DIV>Just in case somebody has more of a clue about Linux than I don't, here's an ipconfig of Persius (Persius is an AT box running a P166 SS7 CPU with 192mb ram, which if it's a good little boy and eats all its greens might be given a P450 to play with). Zeus is an ATX box with an AMD 1.7, 256mb ram (which badly needs a decent O/S).</DIV>

<DIV>I ain't a clue what most of the above means apart from I/P numbers are the computer's 8-digit hex address. I don't know what DHCP is and I don't know what a subnet mask does.</DIV>
