I didn't change anything but here is the output: LAN IP Address 192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 DHCP Server Enabled Firewall Enabled INFORMATION System Time 2008/08/05 21:28:28 System Boot Up Time 00000 days 05:17:37 Connected Clients 3 Runtime Code Version V2.00.0042 Boot Code Version V2.00.32 LAN MAC Address 00-40-F4-91-17-8C WAN MAC Address 00-40-F4-91-17-8D I assume the LAN MAC Address is the address that faces inward towards my Local Area Network of 3 computers and the WAN MAC Address is what is given to the wider world. In my case, the wider world would be rogers.com, which in turn have their own DHCP server and DNS. Do I have that correct? > Unplugging the router will not change anything > - the settings are saved.

Rogers.com went through a spot a year or so ago when their system kept losing the address and I, and others had to unplug in order to reset. You are right it took over a minute of no power to reset the router and another couple of minutes for the flashing lights on the cable modem to settle down. But unplugging then always got things going again. They seemed to this time, but alas, to no effect on my current problem. I am impressed that my little $10.95 AOpen router has its own program and setup. I had assumed that it was all cached somewhere in my machines memory somehow. -- Regards Bill; Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.3 Evo.2.22.3.1, Emacs 22.2.1 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
