At what time does it deactivate. If you don't know, run the following in a console for the night: while ping -nc1 66.218.71.198; do sleep 10; done && date and look at that console again in the morning. Also, what's deactivation? What does `ifconfig eth0` say? Is the interface still UP and does not have an IP assigned, or any other combination of the two? what does this output: `pidof dhclient` in the morning? finally, can you confirm that your DHCP server remains operable throughout the night? -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck "i'm always frank and earnest with women. uh, in new york i'm frank, and in chicago i'm ernest." -- the long kiss goodnight
