I just found out that my line somehow doesn't have DHCP. Hurray, now I could set up illegal servers! Anyways, I thought that setting this up could not get any easier, cause I just put in all the static values into the appropriate spot, but still the browsers are saying that they cannot locate to the host. When I have DHCP, Netscape gave me a problem about $SOCK_NS, but this time it doesn't. Any ideas?

I'm not sure if I'm understanding you correctly, but if you're trying to set up, say, a web server on your system and you have a static IP then you can just put that IP in a URL such as http://123.45.67.89/ and feed that to your browser. Works fine here on my DSL link with a static IP. If you're unable to connect to systems OTHER than yours, then your network config is probably still mis-configured. In this case, see if you can use the "ping" command to reach various systems. Start by using numeric IPs rather than names and ping yourself first, then your ISP's gateway (if any), then your nameserver(s). If that all works, try ping-ing someplace like yahoo.com by name.
