I happened to do an "ifconfig" as root and saw that eth0's ip address had beenOK going to ask a dumb question here. I've uninstalled stuff before that LM installs. Stuff like Oh... hm... Kwrite? Or some audio program I don't want/need? Always in the past it has occurred where as I am uninstalling, a load of dependancies all of a sudden start saying "You can't do that or XXX will break!"
changed to 192.168.1.1 instead of the hard-wired 192.168.0.1 that I've always
used... I re-ran the network wizard and changed it back. I've not checked my
other comps on the Lan to see if they still have sharing or not.
You would think that it would look at your existing setup and use it, rather
than change things to the point that its crippled.
Again, thanks for the help! :-)
