HI , Thanks Casper.. The problem seems to be something else.... I don't get
results from plumbing,unplumbing. Static IP "works" because it assigns an
address, but it doesn't really connect to the network I think. DHCP wont do a
thing. Below is the sad story log.
I wonder why can't we just get something like networking going.. I can happily
live without sound.. but network... thats not fair. (frustration speaking here)
TIA again.
