Re: How do I find my local IP assigned by my ISP when using pon, etc?



Thank you for the reply. I forgot to mention one complication, I am
setting this machine up for someone who will not have root access (I
will retain that). I am doing this so that they cannot "mess up" their
own machine...

The user will be able, from a user account, do a pon, poff, etc. to
connect to the ISP. So, my challenge is to have the scripts run from
user level security and install the firewall rules.

How do I do this?

Thanks -- Randy
