Hi Dave

Did all the check boxes for DCHP but still not resolved issue. I have a
dynamic IP address and when talking to my ISP just now they say without a
fixed IP address, entering the DNS and gateway probably won't sort the
problem. They have told me to order two usable static IP addresses and this
should solve the problem for me. Opinion? But bearing in mind that none of
their tech guys have linux or know anything about it........

The other thing I wanted to check is that in the Host Name and Server
Configuration, the host name is set at Linux and the domain name at Local.
Is this right?
