I don't think this is the case, as most companies provide dynamic IP. when using dynamic IP, then you need dhcpd to obtain that IP from a pool of IP addresses from your suplier (ISP) (am I wrong?) ;-) So you don't put it in to get a static IP that should be assigneds to you by your ISP. So when you provided the IP (static) there was no errors, but there was no real communicactions with your cable co. then when you used dhcpd, you couldn' obtain the dynamic IP... that's the problem... (Why) why are you not handshaking with your ISP dhcp server. Most logical expalnation... bad configuration, the information you're providing is NOT accurate. so no connection is being stablished. sk -- SedeComp Comunicaciones Internet Solutions MandrakeSoft's VAR and System Integrator mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP key available on:http://www.keyserver.net/en/ |--------------------------------------------------------------| Current Linux kernel 2.4.8-12mdkenterprise uptime: 1 day 3 hours 53 minutes.
