Re: slackware 9.1 and Belkin router problem

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Talking to another slackware user in radioshack he told me the router 
probably needs to be configured.  links doesn't work well going into the 
router and the web page on it.  It's a java page unfortunately.  In any 
case, the router returns 192.168.2.37 which is its firewall address if I 
do ifconfig eth0 <cr> on the slackware box.
