I have been hammering on it (getting connected) since first thing yesterday
morning and this could be expected if it was my first time up to dance, but
it is not

dynamic

no - on my attempt at setting eth1 to static 10.0.0.2 and adding a route and
a default gateway, all pings were denied to 10.0.0.1 but I could ping
10.0.0.2  However, checking the route table, eth1 had the .2 address and no
route 10.0.0.0.  The default gateway had 10.0.0.0 insted of 10.0.0.1 -
pretty strange - I'm sure this means something, but I dunno.  I checked and
retried all of the initalization stuff by hand ie

ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.2  netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255
route add 10.0.0.0
route add default gw 10.0.0.1

still got the same thing - pings denied and a stange route table.

Also setup dhcpcd on eth1 and it gets assigned 10.0.0.2 but still can't ping
10.0.0.1

I setup tcpdump and trapped 500 lines

it goes something like this

12:34:56.068869 B arp who-has 10.0.0.3 tell 10.0.0.1
12:34:57.068869 B arp who-has 10.0.0.4 tell 10.0.0.1
12:34:58.068869 B arp who-has 10.0.0.5 tell 10.0.0.1
and so on to 10.0.0.254 and then starts over.

The first 3 colon seperated values are the time ie 12:34:56

> 3) Is your machine talking to other computers okay?

yes - this machine is an ip masquerading, firewall, gateway router for 5
boxes on the inside network connected to eth0 and has been my internet
server though dialup - DSL just came to town.

all connection attempts to the 675 were made with the masquerading, firewall
and the ppp connection down as to not interfer

yes - when I was still having trouble this morning, I hooked up the 675 to a
windose box and lit it up - it  worked fine.

Don't know if it matters, but when the 675 arrived with the rest of the
install pack, the 675 was set to bridging mode and I reconfigured it, the
"wan" side, to ppp as instructed by .net tech support and those instuctions
also followed the setup instuctions in the Qwest booklet but nothing on the
lan side setup.  Could the lan side be configured wrong for the type of
connection I am trying to make?

BTW, I read though the postings made back in April 2000 and it seem that
most of the people posting then made the install sound easy.

Thanks for responding. Hope the additional info will make the difference.
