ah Slick its fine... Its working with a static IP... For now, i'll leave it alone. It works & why screw with it? I'll vent offlist if anything else comes to mind hows that? :PFemme,I took a look at your latest post to Spence just before sending off my response. I have been away from the list because of work, so my time here has been spotty, at best. You are right. If you asked for boot-up assigned IP addressing during the installation part of the O/S, it 'should' have installed the DHCP client. However, if you missed installing the client when you first installed MDK (maybe, because you were using dial-up then), you could need to install it manually. It would be the same with Windows, except as I mentioned in my precious post, that Windows would automatically go and grab it from your CAB files on your drive. I am sure that you already told us here before, but if I might indulge you further, could you tell me what the make and model is of your router? Maybe I can explain what to check for in your router and system set-up to make sure you covered all the should be done. It isn't difficult, but there are some things that must be set-up in the device if you want it to DHCP to your computer. Thanks! T
