Just to expand on Doug's note, make sure you have NO other computers
sharing the Wave through a hub.  As someone told me, the Wave will
configure itself to the first registered MAC Address (Ethernet Hardware
Address) it finds.  If it finds another computer, it will block all 
traffic from all except the one address it finds...

Ah, usually Rogers gives you a Static IP.  You may not need the DHCP
client.  

(Rogers is our ISP for the Cable Modems)


Talk to you soon,
Ben
