[OLUG] failures

Nothing has changed it still gets the page or the connection withthe # and not with the
name.

here is my reports from my ifconfig and my route

$ /sbin/ifconfig

This is the best i could do by typing into Gnotepad saving as
/mnt/hda1/LINUXSTUFF/ifconfrout.  but it did work lol
somehow it looks different here though!
I'm getting so much instruction now that im having trouble keeping up with it

thanks again
Nate
