This isn't so much to offer a solution to your problem, but more of an "I feel your pain" thing. I use AT&T @Home, though in the Dallas area, and I also have similar problems you describe. After a certain period of time, my connection will die. And like you, it seems as though I have to statically set up my connection. If I try to use DHCP, it never establishes the connection and get my IP. However, when I statically assign it my IP, it works. Using Windows, if I try to statically assign it, it refuses to connect and only works using DHCP. -- Brian Schmidt On Wed, 1 Aug 2001, Mike Chambers wrote: > Is anyone by chance using AT&T@Home cable service especially in the Chicago > area?
