Do you have your own DHCP server running on a router/firewall, or is it your ISP? IIRC, DHCP servers have a setting, TTL (Time To Live), and if you boot into and out of the two OS's, each needing an IP, the DHCP server may be assuming one is already assigned and not handing one out, hence if you unplug the cable, the server senses a "new" host on the network and dutifully hands out an IP. If you *do* boot into Mandrake and don't get an IP, you should be able to get it going with (as root): service network restart what does it show in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0? you should have something like this: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes -- HaywireMac ++ ICQ # 279518458 Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Rule of Life #1 -- Never get separated from your luggage.
