I recently upgraded from Mandrake 6.1 to 7. I have all settings the same for my network, but i couldn't get it to work for a long time. Finally i tried turning on DHCP. Now when i turn on my linux box, it searches the network and finds my windows machine that has a DHCP server running. Then it assigns it the address of 192.168.0.2 (since the windows one is 192.168.0.1). If i turn the DHCP off, then the machines can't ping each other. The same thing happens if i shut down and restart the network from within linux. (with ifconfig eth0 down and ifconfig eth0 up). It worked in 6.1!!!!! What is going on here? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
