Why does it -have to be set to DHCP? Fact is it does not so don't lead people down the wrong path. If they have a static address it will -not- make a difference.
With all due respect Ken, no one said it "had to be" set to DHCP. Why would you inject a false premise and build a misguided critique on top of it? Frankly, I'm not comprehending the utility of this post at all.
Your earlier suggestion: -> click 'Change' under 'Already configured devices' -> your nic should already be highlighted; click 'Edit' -> verify the Automatic address setup (via DHCP) checkbox is selected ***************************** I didn't intend to offend anyone but instructions provided by you clearly state to use DHCP. I merely intended to set the record straight that DHCP was -not- a requirement. Anyone new would be inclined to follow these to the letter and could think that it had to set this way. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
