Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] no NAT from newbie

Hi Bruce,

Thanks again.

For the  next release:

I'd think it would be trivial to change the initial gateway default of  .254
to .1,
and this should keep MS boxes happier. Also, this seems the more difficult
of my two (former) problems.

I'd also think it should be easy to have a script that sets the DNS servers
at boot,
from /etc/resolv.conf

Considering all the other  wonderful items in DL, these should add a great
deal of
user-friendliness for the effort.
