# ps aux | grep dhc root 3650 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 08:31 0:00 [dhclient] <defunct> root 4044 0.0 0.0 2204 608 ?

Ss 11:39 0:00 dhclient eth0 root 12702 0.0 0.0 3192 752 pts/0 R+ 12:16 0:00 grep dhc When I killed all of the above processes, the problem was solved. thanks, John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
