I have just changed the configuration of my connection to my ISP.

Now my -modem- has my password and login info and does the pppoe
login into the ISP. I guess you could say the modem is doing the gateway
function.

But now I am lost as to how to connect my unix box and host my web sites.
I have only ever connected to the internet through ppp. What I want to do
is connect via a normal network connection, like any other box I have
on my network. The modem/gateway runs nat, which I can disable becuase
I would like unix to handle nat.

Forgive my terminology here. I sure there is a easier way to say this. 

Any one know how I go about connecting via a non-ppp way? I want to connect,
I guess, just like any dumb windows box would on the network, by plugging into
the hub.
