Questions on ethernet modems and GRUB
Hi,
I have 3 questions to ask about GRUB and adsl ethernet modems. Here goes:
1) Do you know the steps to reinstall GRUB, in case the OS bootup screen disappears. (e.g when windows is reinstalled) ?
2) I want to buy an ethernet adsl modem. What models are compatible with linux ?
3) Presently I have a LAN connecting 2 pcs at home. The IP addresses and subnet masks are manually configured. Hence, if i install the adsl ethernet modem on 1 pc, do I have to change the NIC to use DHCP or can i continue using my manual IP and subnet settings?
My friend,whose linux connection works, told me to keep the manual settings while a linux book I read said most adsl connections use DHCP.
Please reply quickly if you can. Thanks!
