[brluglist] Unannounced Cox network changes...??

[Nat Bayles]

One way to find out.......

Make note of the settings provided by DHCP (dns, gateway, and ip).
Now change your linux from being dchp to a static setup, using the
settings from cox.
(keep in mind, ip's very rarely change on cox to date)
This should get the linux side back up and running, at least utill the
ip address changes on your account.
