[Techtalk] Config DSL for RH

[Rei Ayanami]

Hi James and all,

I don't believe my DSL provides DHCP because when I do an automatically
configured with DHCP, it not only doesn't configure my network correctly,
but it also changes my login into level 3 instead of level 5.  When I
used Win2k, I didn't actually configure anything in windows, but I
actually accessed the router itself (via a browser) and configured the
router to the DSL settings.  The router actually does the DSL login for
me so that I don't have to login each time I use the internet.

If you think either me or Serial Experiment Lain is just plain weird, you
should read some works of Ted Nelson and Vannevar Bush and John C. Lilly
on Xanadu...they thought of mentally synching with the Wired in the
1930-50s!  Another grave reminder that philosophy and computer science
should NOT mix...ESPECIALLY when LSD is involved.--Quantum Smurf
