Greetings Zach: Please let us (debian-laptop) know if this latter reply solved the dhcp problem for you since I am interested in the outcome. I had a similar experience with a new Woody install on a desktop using DHCP. I have never solved the failure but did manage to get it fully functional in a more manual way. The problem was that I initially used a static IP during install. Later, I installed 'dhcpd' on my gateway and changed the desktop box to dhcp but it would never get an ip. It had dhcp-client installed, yet it would only work if I manually invoked it. Finally I installed pump and removed dhcp-client and it would work during boot (as I wanted it too). Tnx Zach. gl tatah - -- Jaye Inabnit\ARS ke6sls\/A GNU-Debian linux user\/ http://www.qsl.net/ke6sls If it's stupid, but works, it ain't stupid. I SHOUT JUST FOR FUN.
