One of my machines does this. It started when I changed routers. I suspect/guess that it's a combination of the NIC and the router -- some interaction in the DHCP process. I often see the connection say "Connected" and then it goes to "Limited connectivity". So I realize this doesn't solve your problem; if you can, try a different NIC. And report back here so we can add to the common knowledgebase! ...phsiii _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
