[oclug] Configuring Rogers @home on linux box

[Tom Cruickshank]

Sorry guys to leave out the specifics.

Alright...in windows the network card is detected as a SOHOware 10/100 PCI 
network card.
When configuring it in linux, I used dchp. I also have a D-Link network 
card which I received
when signing up with sympatico high speed.

As for when I manually configured the card...

i used dchp for ip....

pri dns: 24.2.9.33
sec dns: 24.2.9.35
gateway: 24.2.9.35

What extra parameters are required for dhcp?

Thanks for all the help!
