Hey Tom, Could you double check your GNU/Linux's ifconfig settings and your pfinet settings on GNU/Hurd. I did a reinstall yesterday, I used a tarball dated gnu-20020816.tar.gz and my machine is fine on the network. I use a fixed IP addr. tho.
My reasoning is you, might have a stale dhcp addr and your isp may give you a new one if you mess around with the dhcp client on GNU/Linux a little. I'm sorry I don't know the dhcp client commands to release and renew your address. This is the only thing I can think of atm(without my first gallon of coffee). Thanks Matt G.
