I realised that my SuSE 8.0 has problems to get a dhcp reponse from the server while my wife (win2k) don't. I've being observing this from some time now and sometimes, I need to reset the modem in order to get an IP, wich in occurrence is always the same. I know the dhcp server runs Linux (I dunno wich distro) and anyway is beyhond my reach.
