It can be, but only if you do "ifconfig dhcp drop". > and I am unable to make the latter connection. That doesn't sound right at all. The cached information just speeds up the start-up process. It shouldn't ever cause it to fail. If you're seeing it fail, then I suspect that the problem is unrelated to the cache. A snoop of the problem would help. > Could this be true?

But I doubt this will help, as I don't think the problem diagnosis is correct. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
