Just two weeks ago I replaced the modem in my firewall pc with a
second nic card to connect to Roadrunner. I used netconfig to setup
the card. The only thing I selected was the radio button to use dhcp
and then supply the DNS name server addresses that Ed shared
RR nameserver addresses
65.32.1.70
65.32.1.80
65.32.1.65
The process active currently is pump-0.7.8-1 which has been working fine.
The firewall is a P133 32mb two 3c509 and running RH6.2 with new bind rpm.
