After a power failure....
bios battery is dead
set time and date
turn on parallel port 378
in /etc/rc.local add:
# Redirect http and https ports to monkey web server
# as new shaw router doesnt do this for us anymore
/sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING --src 0/0 --dst 0/0  -p tcp --dport 80  -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080
/sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING --src 0/0 --dst 0/0  -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8443


not required, but can force dns servers by:
in the file /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf add a new line:
supersede domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;
