I have a Cisco 675 DSL box.  My DSL is QWORST.  I know they have upgraded 
the software/firmware for it but after looking at the instructions, I 
decided to wait until I had a month to spare.

My telephone line comes to the 675 and it, in turn goes to a Linksys 5-port 
hub.  The computers connect there.  I don't seem to have a problem staying 
connected but i have noticed a strange phenomena in my Win2K hardware setup.

I define the IP numbers for the computer boxes.  They are in the series 
10.0.0.10, etc.  But the win2k box shows, in addition to the NIC card, a 
WAN Miniport (IP) #2 in the hardware setup and it has a yellow exclamation 
mark.  Everything works ok but I have been told to let the Cisco play DHCP 
and assign IP numbers.  Also, how about using Netbui for the connection?

Any comments?  OR, since it works, should I let sleeping dogs lie?
