[X4U] Home Networking Questions ( Static IP verses DHCP)

[Al Simcoe]

I have been following this thread from the start. Since you no or very 
little working background in this (as we have all been there), I would 
suggest that you read the "Linux Networking HOWTO". Go to  
"www.thelinuxdocumentprodject.com"  or maybe it is "www.ldp.com". Go to 
the "HOWTO" folder and find the one/s you wish to read. You will find 
them most informative and easy to understand. The Networking HOWTO will 
explain it all.

Also, a good Basic book on networking will provide much reference for 
you.


I hope I have been helpful!
