Mandrake9.1 on a dell optiplex gx150. Network worked fine yesterday, today I'm getting dhcp requests timed out. I jump though the hoops, set stuff manually using the last know settings - nothing works... then I unplug the cable, and plug in a new cable and run it to a different port on my hub - I do a /etc/init.d/network stop and then a /etc/ inint.d/network start - everything comes up just fine! So I go back to the old cable and hub port - do the stop / start and everything is STILL fine... what gives? Does the act of unplugging and plugging in a cable to the NIC reset something? I hate not knowing how a problem was solved!!! _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
