I am willing to change the ip's of the network.  The current system is
comprised of RH7.0, which is a gateway, Win98, and WinME.  I have not
had any trouble until now.  The only time I have problems is when ATT
changes my internet ip address.  I just ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0 and
the network can connect to the internet again.

My plans for the Caldera box is to set it up as a firewall but before I
do that I figure that I need to get it to connect to the network and
then create the firewall/gateway system.

As a basic rule, I never use the 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 network.  I
discovered a problem with a couple Redhat boxen when I tried using
it.  Everything was working fine, then I introduced a Redhat box (6.2 I
think) into the network and I had the identical problem.  How hard would
it be to change your internal IPs from 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 to
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0?  I did it and it worked no problem.
