When it stops working, look at the output of "route -n" and see if you can ping the default gateway. Look at the result of "ifconfig" and see if you have the address you expect to have. My first guess is that when you're changing from dynamic to static there's something being left undone. -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * *********************************************************************** -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
