This is fixed. They advised me to simply make it a static IP and not exercise the DHCP. I edited /etc/network/interfaces accordingly. Seemed to work, but after the ADSL provider changed things around, the thing no longer honors this choice. DHCP is being called despite and the lease problem recurs. What, if at all, this should have to do with the new optical cables laid under the street, I cannot guess. Maybe there is another place I needed to edit? Doing this using netcardconfig gives my hand edited entries as default choices but the data is then blanked out in the interfaces file and ifup/ifdown do not work correctly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I am sympathetic, but I probably can't help you with hardware issues, uless I have the same hardware myself, which I don't. Google is your friend.

This one probably hits it. The question is how to reconfigure? I have found no configure http or anything else. This router is a WAN to ethernet and two VOIP phone channels made by "Audiocodes." No information. The provider is Linux- illiterate.

Seems to come with recent KDE/HAL stuff. One more useless daemon but I doubt the cause of the problem. It just sits on the DHCP calls. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

It might even be in your own interests to do so. It might motivate people to help you again. If you don't know what I'm talking about, or claim that you don't, allow me to refresh your memory.

You're welcome. As for your new problem, it looks like your DHCP server is set up to hand out 1 hour leases. If the DHCP server is built in to the router, as is often the case, that comes down to reconfiguring your router. You want a fairly long lease time. You also want a fair amount of time between when a lease is released (or when connectivity is lost) and when that IP address is made available for reuse. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
