Hi,

	I'm installing 2.0 in a Gateway Pentium so that I
can work at home. (Like I don't work enough already :).

I have succesfully loaded 2.0 using a remote CDROM and
have configured a secondary DNS server on this machine.
However, whenever I disconnect the Ethernet connection 
(like I'm going home), the machine "hangs" after I
enter my Username and Password... I can only assume that 
it is having trouble finding DNS information.... 

	Anybody have some advice on how to configure a 
machine that will sometimes be standalone, sometimes 
dialed in on a modem and sometimes connected via an 
Ethernet card?

	TIA
