Hi,
I am not sure of the DHCP fix, but there is something on the 6400 Zone :
http://homepage.mac.com/zone6400/
related to some connection to internet (?) that can be fixed by
replacing the OS 8.6 Opentransport by the 2.6 version. It is
downloadable on this site, and maybe some people talk about a DHCP
problem too.
Hope that helps,
Thierry
