Is it getting assigned a number on your network or could it be picking up another wifi network? I used to have this happen with regularity, before I setup 10.1 with kwallet handling the WPA key. On a very rare occasion, my laptop will still get assigned a number not leased previously 192.168.0.101). I simply reboot the laptop and the router. I had found rebooting the laptop didn't do it. Also, for some reason, I needed to have the Wintendo computer (192.168.0.100) up first. My other SUSE desktop (192.168.0.102) usually is okay. Soon, the Win2K computer will be put to pasture and be replaced with a new linux machine. -- kai - [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com www.filesite.org || www.donutmonster.com closing the doors that surround me so no one will ever penetrate complete my retreat just to wait for the day that never comes, so I will laugh alone -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
