Please excuse my ignorance, but how do I find the 'routing table' on the 
FC4 box?  I have just gone into the router set up.   Do I find some of 
these IP/names there?  I did a /sbin/ifconfig -a which produced a 
selection of IPs.

What and how do I find it, my 'proxy server' please?  I have entered the 
'Edit' in Firefox on FC4 and 'connection settings' for proxies,   It is 
set for 'Direct connection to the internet' and there are no IPs in any 
boxes.
