Jeff, this may or may not help you, but try this: Open MCC > Network & Internet > Connecton My host name is "chris.localdomain Connection type is "lan" Interface is "eth0" IP is "192.168.1.2" Protocol is "dhcp" Driver is "8139too" I vagely remember way back about two years ago when setting up my dsl I had a conflict with my setup because I still had the dial-up settings in place. This may or may not be a factor, I don't know as I haven't followed the thread close enough. I just saw you "giving up" and thought I'd throw the above out for you to try. If it works great, if not I'm sure others have an idea. -- Chris Registered Linux User 283774 http://counter.li.org 10:52pm up 25 days, 4:14, 2 users, load average: 0.55, 0.73, 1.47 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 101 USES FOR A DEAD MICROPROCESSOR (1) Scarecrow for centipedes (2) Dead cat brush (3) Hair barrettes (4) Cleats (5) Self-piercing earrings (6) Fungus trellis (7) False eyelashes (8) Prosthetic dog claws . . .
