And it still can be. But you need your
router's address. For example, a
typical router has an address of
192.168.1.1- unless you have enabled
security restrictions within the router
itself, you can assign your box an
adress of say, 192.168.1.200,
and the router will recognize it
as a valid part of "it's" network.

That is good to know. I'll have to look into that.

If your box is the only one attached
to the router (why did you buy it
in the first place?)

Several reasons.

1) To do really big backups. It seems that it would be easier to just use
a garage sale PC to store files rather than hassling with removable media.
I don't have room for any more hard drives.

2) I have a cheapo netcam I'd like to hook up to the peep hole on my front
door so I can see who is there without making the inevitable noise going
to the door.


You still need to setup the router
to correctly get the IP from your
ISP. You also need to add the
router's address, as a gateway,
to your routing tables.

You're still touching base with
c.o.l, so I assume you have access
to Google, and ReHat's site. You need
to brush up on basic network
concepts, and consult RedHat for
the appropriate startup scripts.

This is where I get confused. I don't know what a gateway is or dies or
what routing tables are. I also clueless about subnet masks.

The only reason I wanted to use DHCP was name servers. If I have a static
setup and my ISP changes their nameservers frequently, I'd always be
manually changing them.
