Matt, it certainly doesn't need to dial a number. I'm sure there's an option in there somewhere, you just need to find it.

the gateway is the ip of the pc on telewests netowork you connect to the net through itll prolly ask for a subnet mask and such too, not too hard to suss out

Nah he's got one of those modems that connects indirectly to the machine through a network card.

Look we've been over this it wouldn't be more or less virus prone if it was a popular as windows or as user friendly. Mac is (partially) owned by bill gates .. is it less virus prone, yes .. but the quetion is why ?

becuase it has less users. If we still had a web counter I could show the stats ... they don't lie windows wins.

Also the type of user is important the more common Windows user is younger and less computer literate than that of a linux user .. so they are gonna do dumbass shit, look at dodgy web sites and be extremely guliable about what they download.
