You've got a time machine as well, then? Last thing I heard,
windows 2300 wasn't released yet.


[... hp C3000 ...]
I want this machine to connect to the internet, i assigned a unused
and static ip adress to it, 192.168.10.30 and a hostname. I can ping
every PC in my lan, but for some reason i cant get passed my gateway
(192.168.10.253).

Are you sure you have set up a default route? You can use `netstat -r'
(which is the usual method, as most unices don't have a show option to
the route command) to inspect the routing table.


To be brief, how can my box access the web w/o being configured on a
domain or passing by a DNS.

Since ``the web'' is built on top of the internet, you'd best solve what
is apparently an IP routing problem, first.

Hostname resolution you need, for two reasons: First, you'll want to be
able to resolve URLS as most are given in hostname and not in numeric
format. Second, you'll want it to work for your local addresses too. If
nothing else to avoid leaking RFC1918 queries out on the internet.
