Should be clearer, DHCP doesn't work under 9.3. If I set a static IP (all details correct). I can't send any packets out. Can't ping anything.
If I install 9.2 everything works fine. If I upgrade to 9.3 (keep settings the same) it breaks the network.
This has happened with 3 different motherboards, 2 with Intel Chipsets and 1 with a VIA chipset.
Try `iptables -F` as root. I got caught by this a couple of times. Merely turning off the firewall doesn't clear the iptables rules. You need to clear them manually.
