Re: [SLE] Can't connect to internet
Can't speak of the hotels but how about some basics on the DHCP. At least these are what is followed in my area by both cable providers and so I have been told also local DSL. You get 1 ip address for the price, to hook up another computer disconnect the first one, connect the other one, and recycle the modem. If you are using a hub, disconnet the first one and recycle the modem. If you are using one of the many routers (nat devices) see if it has an option of keeping the mac address of the working computer, then providing your dhcp locally. I haven't set up a router with Linux for this yet, when I got a nat box for $20.00 back in the day when they were $100.00, I couldn't pass up. My locals have talked about (don't think it will happen) setting it up so only the one mac address is approved. If your card dies you must provide it to them and then give them the replacement mac address. Went over like a Lead Balloon. Hope this helps some

Trey, It sounds like you might not be working with DHCP service with this ISP. Check your Windows side to see how the installed software set it up, as it should have listed "automatic" or just the static IP address. You might check with Adelphia also to see what they give you, dhcp or static. If it's static, it's still pretty simple to fix in your Network Devices settings, you just have to drop a few things in manually.

No, it's definitely DHCP. I had inquired about getting a static IP, but it was outrageously expensive. Plus, they don't allow you to run servers of any type. AAARRGGGHHH.
Anyway, is there any reason why Windows would be able to get an IP address and Linux wouldn't? I remember someone mentioning a problem a while back about issues with hotels when they traveled that offered high speed. They could connect with Windows, but their Linux laptop had a lot of issues.
Thanks.

That one is EASY PEASY to solve just get yourself and old 486 machine no hdd just a floppy drive and get your self "BBIagent setup to suit your 2 network cards then the MAC that the outside sees is always only the same one the inside can have as many as you want on the hub ..
Hope this helps some
