I'm not sure how to find this out. Someone else set it up for me. However,
he's on this list...

Same as above.

Is rc.local the actual name of a standard file or directory? I can't seem
to find it on my system (debian). I have rc0.d -> rcS.d directories though.

Yes, they have the DNS numbers for my ISP and the gateway (or router) as
the IP address of the Linux box.

I know that it can work very well. It teased me by working well for the
first day, and I can't wait until it works again.
