[nmglug] stupid question #1

[Andres Paglayan]

well,
all the options match and I have only one DHCP server which is the actiontec
believe it or not I have a cisco 678 sitting still here, I just didn't 
want to bother with all the command line stuff
it was bought by the company I work for so I can set remote backup at 
home more reliably,
if actiontec is that bad, may be is a good opportunity to give the cisco 
a try,
