During the install, I did the adsl setup at the 'summary' stage.
I selected dynamic ip. When the zeroconf screen came up I entered
nothing and just clicked the 'next' button. I've run the installer
for each beta and rc, and that's the first time I ever saw that
zeroconf screen. It's also the first time I've had any problem.
I know =static seems ass backwards, but even with 9.0 and every time I
needed to re-setup the connection since, I've always saved related
config files and that setting has always been static. The connection
is definitely dynamic, and as I said, I selected dynamic during the
fresh install.
