I switched from ESB2 to Dachstein CD while the service (@home) was out. Left the machine on while I was at work. Came home, and it had connected when the service came back up, Like Magic, and I was all set to go! None of the BS configurator nonsense! Been running fine ever since!

That's what I did for a friend. We had Oxygen running on his @Home rigged as a static IP setup even though it's dhcp. Then when they choked and became attbi (they never should have merged with the white elephant Excite), their dhcp is so touchy that I couldn't rely on the static rig, and I went for dhcp. Oxygen locked up during boot, after enabling the correct nic modules and rebooting. Doing the same on Dachstein rc2 gave him a perfectly working system. It was pretty spectacular, I must say. > I followed the basic setup instructions, but it didn't fix > my problem. Specifically, I can only ping a couple of hosts. Describe exactly what you did and what you saw, if it's still happeing and the DNS advice you got doesn't fix it. > If I hook my win2k box directly to the cable modem, everything works fine. Yea yea.

So, I'm thinkin > it's some sort of DHCP configuration problem. Just so you know, it's common to get a new IP address and whatnot when you switch systems (and thus mac addresses) and get a new lease. I didn't have to touch a single dhcp setting to get my friend's attbi.com system in Petaluma, CA to work. > I messed around with the dhcpclient settings with no success.
