IF YOUR USING A STATIC IP, CHANCES ARE YOUR PREVENTING SOMEONE ELSE FROM
GETTING ONLINE!!!!
If Shaw finds out, they'll turn off the static ip modem, and you'll have
to call into their tech line and request it be turned back on provided you
go to dhcp.
If your using RH 5.1, it comes with DHCP client that will obtain the
needed ip address information. If your flavour of linux doesn't include
dhcp, go to the following url:
