DSL connections...

[Adams <jdadams ucsub colorado edu>]

I have a US West DSL connection on a new RH 6.0 machin...however, when I
run ifconfig I get the following for eth0: 

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:04:6C:CA:6A  
          inet addr:10.0.0.2  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:542 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:654 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:3
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          Interrupt:5 Base address:0xfc00 


Notice that my internet address is 10.0.0.2 . I don't believe this is
correct.  I thought I should be getting a 'normal' IP address.  Anyone
know what's happening?

thanx
