[TriLUG] RR Setup

[Mark Fowle]

Ed -

Thunderbear suggests that the uplink is not working - I might have to
call TWC to check the connection.  

I have a SB4200 -- The first four lights are solid and the activity
light is flashing orange.  It gives me the same IP 192.168.100.11
---(Which doesn't sound right) ---

thanks,
Mark
