I have the internet connection (802.11b network adapter) plugged into
eth0.  a hub is plugged into eth1.  the PAP2 is plugged into the hub,
and a telephone into the hub.

on boot I got a message about lost packets, but it went by too fast. 
I've installed firestarter.  I need to set up dhcp, perhaps.  how do I
ping, or ipconfig the hub?


thanks,
