[snip] Patric, how are you doing with that router? We use netgear almost exclusively, and they really do work with linux. Here's what I usually do: Stop the network on your PC with rcnetwork stop. Give your network card a static IP ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 ifup eth0 I suspect that the dhcp in the router might be misconfigured. Not sure how that would be possible, as the dhcp server should not start under those circumstances. But it may be possible. Otherwise, use arp to put an IP in your arp table for the router (the MAC address should be printed on the bottom, and/or somewhere on the box). I've had to do this many times before when dealing with new clients that have existing printservers etc. that need attention. Hans
