------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-08 05:40 ------- Hmm ... I looked at the DHCP bugs - are you talking about Bug # 2796? I admit that I'm at sea here. When I run DHCLIENT in a konsole as superuser, I get the copyright info, then ----snip--snip--snip----- "listening on LPF/lo/ Sending on LPF/lo Listening on LPF/eth0/00:50:ba:58:c2:10 Sending on LPF/eth0/00:50:ba:58:c2:10 Sending on Socket/fallback DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 DHCPOFFER from 192.168.100.254 DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from 192.168.100.254 bound to 192.168.100.141 -- renewal in 39804 seconds. -----snip--snip--snip---- I then try to ping yahoo.com and I get "unknown host yahoo.com". When I ping the insightbb IP which assigns leases to NICs, however - 12.223.2.8, it pings normally, with an average rtt of about 50 MS. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: When I upgraded to 9.1beta from 9.0, XFree86 (I think) began blanking teh screen on me at intervals which seem random. It goes blank for less than a second, more than once a minute. When 9.1rc1 came out, I upgraded but the problem remained - had to reformat / and /usr, if that matters. I *had* to reformat, because tehre was no "upgrade or upgrade packages only" option, like there was when I upgraded from 8.2 to 9.0. When 9.1rc2 came out I upgraded again but the problem remained, and, even worse, now I have no Inet connection on that box. I load the Control Center and click Network and Internet and it's still configured for my DFE-530TX NIC (which uses the 8139too alias). I click Connect and it says "connecting to the internet ..." but then it says "connection failed." I can boot [Ugh!] Win98 and there is no problem. I can open a konsole window and I can ping 12.223.2.8 or 12.223.2.9 just fine, but I can't ping insightbb.com. That's odd because 12.223.2.8&9 are the IPs insight uses to register NICs with their service. In fact I can type 12.223.2.8 in a konqueror window and I get the standard "You are currently subscribed to insightBB.com. Your account is active". Of course insight's "tech support" is useless, as they say they don't support linux, and indeed, I can GET connected just fine running Winduhs. I am at a loss. HELP!!!!
