Hello, Does anybody have any clues as to what could be going wrong here, and, hopefully, a solution? I really need to get this working soon because my old firewall box is dying rapidly, and I'm having a difficult time keeping it running.
Is your ISP checking the MAC_address (and you have a different one now?)
That's what I'd assumed at first, but.... I've been running 2 boxes connected to the hub at a time for quite a while -- a self contained Linux box and the firewall box, and both were getting valid IP address from DHCP. Now, with my old firewall (it's been dead for over 2 days now), the DHCP lease should that it held should have expired, shouldn't it have? I don't think that I've ever given Charter (the ISP) the MAC address of any of the machines that I've connected in the past. Perhaps I should contact them? -Nick -- <<< There is no spoon. >>> /`-_ Nicholas R.
