Yes , I use DHCP for IP. I do not have TCP/IP checked as "load only when
needed".

My TCP/IP Control Panel (in options submenu) does not *have* an "always
release DHCP address" to check. That got me curious about my TCP/IP
Control Panel. A quick "Get Info" shows it as version 2.0.1 and as part
of MacOS 8.5 (!). Since I installed MacOS 8.6 quite a while ago and
"Clean Install System-Merged" via Conflict Catcher, is this possibly an
out of date control panel issue?
Thanks for all of your help. What a great resource!
