Joel By stall I mean the net is no longer reachable and an nslookup gives nameserver unavailable (of course, that for comcast nameserver IP). I get an infinite leasetime and dynamic address. I have not put it in the eth0 netcard setup as static. I had used that in the past when it was comcast@home. No, haven't tried telinit 1, not famiiliar with it as a newbie.
Maybe I should put the IP in as a static one instead of dynamic, huh? Keith B. Joel Hammer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >What do you mean by "stalling"? >Is the box frozen?
