Hello. Thanks for the clarification. I suspect our tuned Xubuntu 9.10 is unable to read the router DHCP settings properly and tries to use a random IP. In my case, I had configured my router so that the PC-s MAC address was always mapped to the same IP, but Arramagong 3 apparently was unable to understand this, and tried some other IP only to find that it was not available because I had also restricted the range of valid IP addresses. I have enlarged the range of valid IP addresses and now Arramagong 3 does detect the router correctly and gets online. Brian: do you know how your router is configured? Is your MAC address mapped to a certain local IP? Can you soften the router DHCP restrictions in any way and check if the live DVD gets online?
