Kent, Thank you again for your response. To answer your questions:

(There may be some sort of >hardware/cabling/network issue.) I have Debian running on my Mac and with the Mac OS it is connecting with no problem. There are also two PCs connecting with no problem. >Is this a stock kernel (you haven't compiled it >yourself)? >You can get the version with the command >"uname -a" It is the stock kernel: 2.2.17. Pump is installed and running (it was invoked by "/etc/init.d/networking/ start " when it was trying unsuccessfully to run the altered /etc/network/interfaces >To see if you have one of these clients running, >you can use the ps >command, That returns: 233pts/0 S 0:00 grep -E dhcp|pump So,... still stuck. Mike enjae[westk]:/home/westk> ps ax | grep -E 'dhcp|pump' 7743 ? S 0:00 pump -i eth0 (This works because all the clients listed above either have "dhcp" or "pump" in their name.) If you don't have a dhcp client running, that's probably the problem. You can install one with something like: apt-get install pump or apt-get intall dhcp-client -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
