This appears to be inherent to the 2400. It's not a "conflict" between those two cards, but the apparent inability to use *any* two PCMCIA network interface cards in the 2400. It's come up in the past with the occasional person (like me) trying to use two wired 10BaseT cards under LinuxPPC, and is appearing more often now as people use 802.11 cards with the 2400. Unless you need to be on two separate networks at once, there's no real reason to have both cards inserted at once anyway, and the 2400 will run cooler with only one of them at a time. >Alas! the 2400 lacks a button to manually refresh its DHCP address. There ought to have been a release/renew button, but you can achieve the same end by switching to a different TCP/IP interface (PPP probably works best) and then back. Either do it directly through the TCP/IP control panel (remembering to actually close the control panel in between) or semi-automate it with the Location Manager. You still may see idiosyncratic problems between various DHCP servers and clients (including the Open Tranport one), though - the protocol is poorly implemented in many places. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
