Re: DHCP client setup for @Home
Yeah, there's that, but from all the inquiring I have done, that address is pretty much
unchanging. The problem I've found with @home, at least in Eugene, OR, is that they use
alot of mystique to describe what they do, like it's magic or something, when all they
really do is pass packets and run DNS and mail servers, maybe occassionally probe you on
port 119 to see if you're running a news server. "Trust us, it's faster" is about all
the tech data you get around here. Maybe they aren't used to talking to people who
actually do networking for a living. Oh, well, that's life.
