I set up the iBook to use DHCP and now I get:

IP Address: 192.168.1.46
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.1

The iBook can ping the 327W but not the Linux box.

When I installed DSL on the Linux box I used the Mandrake tools and may be
using PPPoE, is that my problem? Can you walk me through staighting it
out?

Thanks,
Joe
