I just have one simple question that has been confusing me for the longest time. Many points throughout the document require that I enter or know my "hostname". This system will be on a cable modem that is using a DCHP address. From what I understand, my hostname is assigned by my ISP (RR.COM) Can someone just clear the fog about this so I can get this installed correctly? Jon ------------------------------ Jesus saves.
