Unable to get online

I can only wish, no I just grabbed that one. When I first set up my
computer with cox, dhcp gave me that address, and it hasn't changed yet.

Unfortunately I can't figure out how to get a netmask to match a
specific IP address --- yet. But I will one day, have to do a lot of
reading.

Craig said to reset the cable modem --- I did and it worked like a
charm, I always do the hard stuff firdt, instead of the other way
around, maybe there is hope for me yet.

Thanks for all the help.
