sounds like a config issue. Linksys doesn't hate linux. That is a popular series of routers used by networks of all kinds. I bet the at-school network worked because it knows the school's specific setup. The at-home network isn't working because it can't find the school's network, which is probably all the machine knows to look for. You might want to start with /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ to see what your current setup is and figure out what is required by your home network. and you should have a network script under /etc/rc.d/init.d that you can use to restart the network interfaces. it shouldn't be necessary to restart the machine. ~rick -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
