local network using ethernet and modem

[Russell T. Brunet]

I am trying to do the exact same thing, and I'm having the exact same
problem! The only difference, is that my pc (running RedHat) network card
reports a MAC address of 00:00:00:00:00:00. Any ideas? Yvon, if you figure
it out, let me know your exact settings. I'll do the same.

Thanks,

Russell
