what is the difference between DHCP and DHCPCD? if I have DHCP installed does it in anyway interfear with DHCPCD? till havnt got my cable modem working.. getting closer though:) I can now trun on and off the "pc" light of the cable modem which means eth0 is working.. I also cleared up the irq problem I was having. so no more conflicts.. which is a good thing. later RonM -- Ron Morgan jr.
