I've had sppedchoice/broadband for several years now. I have a
multi-user modem with 3 ip's attached to a Solaris box, Linux Mandrake,
and win98.
If you only get 1 IP, you will have to use DHCP with WinX. linux, and
solaris will complain that someone has their IP,
while comming up, but will function OK.
It's a normal setup for networking on any unix box. set your IP,
netmask, router Ip, and set up for DNS.
Oh by the way you can get multible IP's for 9.95 each. The cost
actually went up $10 for me when the switch took
place.
