What is "FC1 DHCP"? A few things: 1. My NIC, my ADSL "modem" and DHCP work fine with Win2k and always have. They all worked fine with OS/2 until I wiped it last week. They all worked fine with the last version of red hat I had installed. The *ONLY* time I've ever encountered a situation where DHCP would not provide a connection, is the last 3 days, and only with the latest red hat and fedora releases (both of which I've installed, to no avail). 2. These operating systems are all on the same machine. Only one is ever run at a time, naturally. Dual boot. 3. I have only one IP address and it's never been an issue since only one machine exists in my house. 4. There is no router or anything like that here. Just one machine, connected via a NIC and an ADSL modem, directly to my phone line. I'm completely stumped, which is not surprising, since I've never built, run, maintained, read about or even much used a network. Here is some info I recorded just now with Red Hat 9 (or whatever the latest version on the FTP sites is). This time, Red Hat didn't autorecognize my NIC (fedora did) so I did the "create new internet connection" thing and this is what I get. It seems to me that the ethernet card is "visible" and that it's sending out requests, but nothing is getting out to the DHCP server or, if the server is replying, the replies aren't getting back in? ============================ [root@localhost root]# dhclient Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client V3.0pl1 Copyright 1995-2001 Internet Software Consortium.
