\_ David's excellent explanation
Har. I wouldn't go that far. :-)
\_ ignores what I have found to be the best
\_ solution of all. [...] set your linux box up as static IP.
Hmmm, I was intending to imply that by:
\_ > I have yet to see someone say that cox has utilized the 'd' part of
\_ > 'dhcp'.
but it obviously wasn't clear.
\_ Granted @home could switch your ip but they won't without good
\_ cause and it takes a whole lot less time.
I don't remmeber seeing "good cause" in my agreement. :-)
