It really depends on how you choose to isolate your system from the
Internet. Are you going to use the Injoy firewall or are you going to
purchase something like the Linksys router?

In either case, you will need to enable a TCP/IP interface using the
TCP/IP Configuration object. The firewall/router will handle the details
of talking to your ISP's DHCP server.

Peer and TCP/IP do not interoperate. They coexist. With DSL, you will
always be connected the Internet. You will still have userid's and
passwords for mail and such. The alway on connection is why a firewall of
some sort is important.
