Then configure your Linux box (and Winblows) to use 192.168.0.1 (your firewall) as the DNS. This way, if Cox changes the DNS and/or IP address, your firewall will act as both DNS and Gateway. This simplifies the configuration and makes it more dynamic. Example:<br><br>Windows Static IP Configuration:<br><br>IP: 192.168.0.50<br>Gateway: 192.168.0.1<br>DNS: 192.168.0.1<br><br>Linux Static Configuration<br>/etc/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file could have 192.168.0.51 as IP address<br>/etc/resolv.conf could use 192.168.0.1 as the DNS server<br>/etc/network could use GATEWAY=192.168.0.1<br><br>I believe this
 configuration would set you up to have your machines as static IP addresses while your firewall could act as the Gateway and DNS mediary for dynamic.<br><br>Of course, if you want your configuration to be truly dynamic, you would set your Linux and Windows box to pull DHCP from your firewall. <br><br>---------------------------------------------------<br>PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us<br>To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change  you mail settings:<br>http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss<br></blockquote><br><BR><BR>- - - - - - - <br>Keith Smith<br>- - - - - - - <br>http://travelingcheese.com/search_engine/increase-search-engine-traffic.html<br>- - - - - - -<p>&#32;
