Julian,
Thanks for the advice. I will definitely try this. I'm sure now that I must have been doing something fundamentally wrong,
because I tried switching my eth0 and eth1 interfaces, and it still didn't work. Unfortunately, the little blurbs I found in my search
on the Web all seemed to recommend a PPPoE client, and not a DHCP client. Guess I have to learn to take these recommendations with a
grain of salt.
Later,
Vaughn

All that

<p>Anyway, not sure if this helps, but I use dhclient to connect several

to the
