I have installed an Asante 10/100 ethernet card in my 9500. It works fine in both 9 and X except for one annoying problem. After a cold start in X it fails to connect to the router and obtain/renew its DHCP license. I get an address starting with 169. If I use the System Prefs to reset them it takes 2 or 3 tries to get an address. If I use IPNetMonitorX and select release and renew DHCP license it switches immediately. All settings show that the network is connected thru the high-speed card and not the built-in port.
Restarts hold the DHCP address. I'd like to cure the problem or find an alternative utility to renew the DHCP license before the try-before-you-buy period for IPNetMonitorX runs out as the $40 fee is a little steep for this one feature I need. Anybody know if this is a non-issue in Panther? Specs: OS 10.2.8, Ram 704mb, ppc9500, Sonnet G3/400/512 processor.
