Check! Yes I downloaded a update from the net!

I'm not sure if this is o.k. or not. From the gateway machine, I can ping the internal machine 
fine. There is only one internal machine with the modem connected by a crossover cable to the 
gateway machine. From the internal machine I cannot ping the gateway machine. The packets 
are lost.

I now have learned all about the nohup command and the "mcopy" commands.

This is from the Internal Machine:

"nohup ifconfig"

I have read that the hostname must be similar on a network. 

I don't know how to adjust them to match now that everything is set up.

Is this important? The Gateway machine has a 10 based T NIC.
                          The Internal machine has a 100 based T NIC.

I cooked a custom ( 2.4.18 I think ) the kernel on the gateway machine and installed most of 
the modules from your big list. 

Thank you very much for your kind assistance.
