Actiontec modems

Linux boxes have difficulty connecting through Actiontec modems. The problem is that the modem supplies its own IP address as one of the nameservers, and it is apparenly non-standard enough so this will not work with our boxen.
Solution: Set the linux box to a static IP in 192.168.0.x range, with a gateway of 192.168.0.1, and give it static dns info.
