I think that most of the people that responded were correct. I know that I have a cable modem and a windows box and had the same trouble that you described. I fought with it for a while until I stumbled on what the others here described. Try power cycling your modem before you plug it into your linux box and again before you plug it into your windows box. This solved my problem for the reasons the other guys talked about. Hope this helps.

Last night I rebooted from Win98 into Linux (RH 7.3) and cat-ed resolv.conf for the heck of it - and there were the appropriate nameservers and such. I did not change anything on the box yesterday, so I do not know why DHCP is working correctly, but it is. Thanks for the help, John. -- John B.
