Erm, yup - my mistake. I should have read the output of dhclient myself
- I just assumed it would be as useful as greek to me. I also assumed
that etho0 was the onboard network card. That's why I setup etho0

My Cable modem is permanently online, I have to navigate to my ISP's
website (the only place on the net I can get to anyway) and log in. Then
they allow me out to the rest of the net. Does that still sound strange?
Do let me know if that's odd - I don't know much about networks.
