You may be onto something here. Originally, I used NAT to access the
Internet through another machine. The NAT gateway was 192.168.10.100.
and all machines had fixed addressing (including my Linux machine).
Recently, I switched to using a cable modem and router to form the local
LAN. This LAN is set up using all DHCP. Probably, I need to change the
network configuration on my Linux machine to turn on DHCP.
I tried all the network configuration applications on the KDE desktop
(Network Devices, etc.) but none allow designation of fixed v. DHCP
addressing, or I could find anything.
How can I configure eth0 on my Linux machine?

DNS comes from Comcast. I know Comcast's DNS addresses. The router must
do the DNS. DNS is on auto for all my other machines and they work fine
to the Internet.
