Add " :88 " to what, where ? I bought one of these units while they were on sale at MicroCentre recently,
but for someone else, and expect to be setting it up for them sometime within the next couple months. The
folks I got it for run W98, but they do use Netscape. They will have cable modem service, and I would
assume a floating IP via DHCP. My own firewall box (Sonic Wall) had a manual that was written strictly
for network administrators and TCP/IP jockeys, and I would not have been able to set it up without
real-time phone assistance. So I hope this SMC box is a whole lot simpler. Or has much simpler
instructions.
