Yeah, I thought of WEP. It's all turned off... the wireless end of it is completely unsecured, but I still can't get a connection. I'll try the lines you suggest, but I'll need to reinstall first, because of the next one... WRT to the startup hang on "looking for internet connections to start at boot", I don't think it's a DHCP hang. It's about 10 lines BELOW the lines where DHCP fails on eth0 and eth1. I'll have to report back with exactly what the line says, but it is definitely far later in the boot process, long after it fails to bring up eth0 and eth1. BTW I gave it about 45 minutes, it never timed out - it stayed there 'forever'.
