I was just looking at ipconfig, and I guess I've been out to lunch, or never 
bothered to look.. I am running SUSE 10.2 behind a netgear router. When I run 
ipconfig I have 2 entries that I'm not familiar with. What are these vmnet 
entries?? the other side of my router? Is this the IP that Bellsouth gives me 
as my IP?
