[cobalt-users] @HOME, NAT, and A Qube 2



I have noticed there are a bunch of people running a Qube, @home, and NAT.  I have a cable modem and a qube 2 and i want to distribute my connect to 4 PCs and an iMac through my D-Link switch.  I have the cable modems IP set to 192.168.1.1 and the other computers set with the consecutive IPs. I am able to see the other computers in network neighborhood, copy files on and off the Qube but I can't get an internet connection.  Here is the list of what I am confused about.
 
 
Cable: Should I use a cross-over cable or just a regular patch cable?
 
Hostname: Should it be that CX........ thing?  (This is what they put as name in the Computer                  Name box in the Network control panel on windows 98)
 
Domain Name:  should that be home.com?
 
DNS:  Should the DNS be the address of @home's DNS server
 
Default Gateway:  What do I put in here?
 
IP Forewording:  Should it be checked?
 
Secondary Interface:  What should I put as the IP address, the modem's IP or the IP @home                                 gives me (it is what can be telneted into)?
 
DHCP: Do I need to set this up, or can I leave the 192.168.*.* on the workstations?
 
Thank you for your effort.
 
Sincerely,
 
Jeff
