For now I've gone back to my 14.04 box. There were too many annoyances with 16.04 to run it as my day-to-day machine. I hope to spend some time with it this weekend figuring out what the differences are so I can take it to the clinic on th 20th and hopefully find things to adjust. I'm not losing my DHCP lease with 14.04. Here, DHCP is served by my Buffalo router. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
