This PC ALWAYS gets the same IP address from the DHCP server (router) based on the NIC MAC address. Again, I believe the issue to be related to the DSL modem time-out and *it* DHCP'ing a new address. Or, I've made a downright stupid bone-head configuration mistake in my httpd.conf. Netgear doesn't provide the keepalive option for the FVS318 in it's latest firmware, or I've not noticed it. Good idea though, I'll check it again to make sure. I was actually hoping someone might confirm for me that this is *normal* behavior for Apache through a PPPOE Internet connection. And that that person was also running Apache on CYGwin, and that they have a solution that works (just to keep this thread on-topic.) Thanks, Bill --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
