right. here's my setup:
mac 192.168.1.100
mac2 192.168.1.101
mac3 192.168.1.102
win 192.168.1.200
all pointing to '192.168.1.1' (as above) for their gateway
(aka default route).
linux 192.168.1.1
which is also 208.33.90.85
points to 208.33.90.84 as its default, being the cmodem
i suppose i could just as easily have used
192.168.19.37
192.168.40.219
but then i'd need to adjust my netmasks from
255.255.255.0
to
255.255.0.0
with my setup, i get a static ip and it never changes.
if yours moves around, you'll need dhcp, which is not
something i've needed, and not something i even begin
to understand...
