I think a while ago I mentioned my Linksys router crapped out on me when I tried to upgrade the firmware. I've been using a extra computer I have running internet connection sharing through Windows 2000. Recently the DNS function seems to be on the fritz. I'll have to try a few times to try to get to a webpage. The speed is still there. It's crazy fast. Like 2800bps down and 256bps up. But the DNS is just messing up. I tried surfing a while having the cable modem plugged in to just one computer to make sure it wasn't Charter's problem. It didn't seem to happen. So I then took on a big task. I turned my extra computer into a dual booting machine, Red Hat 9 Linux and Windows 2000. It was nice because I used Partion Magic so my Win2k install was unaffected. I was trying to us DHCPD in linux to farm out my internet. It didn't go so easy. At first I was trying to do it all from the prompt and after some frustration minutes I went and installed Gnome. I then found another cool program called Webmin. It enables to you adjust and totally control your linux box through a web interface. Granted it didn't configure DHCPD very well it's cool none-the-less. Long story short it didn't work and I'm back to using Win2k. All because I'm too cheap to buy a new router.

Now that I've bored you with a boring post. See what Matt has to say.  ¶ 3:24:00 PM
