dhcp and ydl 3.0.1

hi

I'm running a beige G3 mac with two network cards as a router/firewall/small webserver/etc.

I'm switching isp and the new one uses dhcp instead of static information. The new connection also requires me to login at a webpage every time I restart the network.

Anyway. The dhcp just won't work for me. When I connect my desktop mac with Mac OS X I just select dhcp and it works fine to access the login page. But on the ydl router I do get assigned an ip and dns from the dhcp server but when I try to type in the url to the login page in Mozilla (still on the ydl mac of course) I just get host not found or whatever. I can't ping anything. I tried accessing the login page by ip instead of host if something was wrong with the dns, but that doesn't work either.

Any ideas of what I can do? I've tried service network restart, restarting the whole machine, deactive/active in the Network (gui) settings.

It would also be great if you knew how I can see if I'm being assigned a gateway ip in linux. ifconfig only seems to  show the ip and not the gateway. (so I know that gateway, ip and dns servers are all being assigned successfully)

I'm about to cry. I really need this thing going asap.

Regards Emil
