I have LM 7.2 on one machine using a realtek 8139 10/100 Ethernet card,
the DHCP host is (unfortunately) a Win2K machine with a 3Com 3C905
10/100 card using network sharing . . .

When the Linux box fires up - it finds it's address no problem - and
continues happily along in the boot process.  When I shutdown the DHCP
host, or just disconnect the ISDN internet access from the host machine
. . . the Linux box seems to hang - mouse movement works, but keyboard
non-responsive and nothing opens or closes . . . can't even bring up a
virtual console!

When I allow the Win2K host back on the Internet - the Linux box "wakes
up" and continues on like nothing happened!?!?!?

What is the rule of thumb about DHCP hosts, timeouts and where can I
tweak these parameters if any?

Many thanks in advance . . .
