boot up again in Win98 and run "winipcfg" as Michael suggested. Make not of the default gateway on you NIC. Before closing "winipcfg", you _must_ "Release all" then shutdown Win98. Boot up Dachstein and enter the default gateway you found in "winipcfg" to the line in network.conf that reads "DEFAULT_GW= www.xxx.yyy.zzz". Now do a "svi network reload" and things should be better. It seems with Excite out of there that Cox@Home is only giving out one dhcp lease at a time forcing you to "release" one before getting another. There has been several cases of this in the last couple of weeks. The default gateway seems to be more of a regional requirement, but it wouldn't hurt to enter it in either case. -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
