Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Basic setup issues.

[scott j. <sco...@ho...>]

Thanks for your response, I have set eth1 to the 192.168.1.1. I have a couple of questions.
 
1. That address is obviously the same as my router?
2. Do I need to turn off DHCP on the router?
3. Why must I use a crossover cable from eth1 if I choose to go directly into my pc for testing purposes?
4. Does the crossover cable go from eth1 into the WAN port of the router?
 
I realize some of these questions may seem quite silly, but I am quite new to all of this. Thanks again.
