Several times in the last little while, Netscape and ping have had problems,
either hanging or responding with Unknown. I then booted up in Windows95,
and no problem. Then returning to Debian (1.3.1 still!) and
the problem is solved. I am on @HOME cable. They tell me that their
modem is in constant communication with the software and that
the Windows DHCP module is effectively reseting the modem. Apparently
my DHCP client is periodically failing. They say that some RH installs
also have this problem ( this is why they don't support Linux). Apparently
I need a DHCP client that has "pump7". Can anyone tell me what to
do. Before you tell me to do so, I should say that I
installed Debian 2.0 on another drive, but have another problem--it didn't
recognize that I had an ethernet card (3c509, I think), so I would like
to get 1.3.1 working for the time being. Thanks.
