My NIC is an Yukon Marvell 88E8001 GbLAN

Router: Linksys BEFSR81 on 192.168.1.1

I'm on Cable (not a static public IP, but has not changed for the last 3 years I live here)

I set up the following:
IP: 192.168.1.254
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

I originally setup as DNS servers my ISP name servers but since I keep losing them I just input 192.168.1.1 now and my router sorts DNS out.

A listing of when I am properly setup:

The vmnet interfaces were added by VMWare player


I will restart now and post an ifconfig output of when I'm on the wrong DNS again...
