[wplug] setting up static ip in linux classically?

[Andrew Fisk]

I guess that if you are really only goung to use a DSL modem you might  
want to set it up this way, but my guess would be that if the PC is  
going to make the connection you will need PPPOE setup up somewher and  
frankly I would think abaout a router in the mix.  You can pick on up  
inexpensively, the router will handle the connection for you, you will  
be able to use more than one machine and you pick up the additional  
security that NAT adds.

you might also take a look at OpenDNS as long as you are reconfiguring  
stuff.
