Here's an annoying problem that I can usually address by fiddling and a random number of reboots, but maybe someone here has a real answer. I have searched the archives, but didn't recognized the problem in any of the listings. SUSE 10.0 Notebook: IBM T41 with IBM wireless and wired nics Desktops: Dell GX240 with ethernet hard card (SUSE 10.0) older Dell Dimension (Windows 2000) Networked printer: Lexmark Hub: Belkin 802.11b wireless Problem: I need to ping, NFS, Samba, ssh, sftp, etc. all the various systems on the network and access the internets. I have set up the Belkin box for DHCP with "Forever" IP leasing. This works for the hard-wired cards - systems always get the same IP address, and often for the wireless. But frequently, the notebook wireless card gets assigned an IP outside of the specified range. If I set it to the desired static IP address, it "takes", but manually specifing nameserver/router doesn't. Doing this rebooting and going back to DHCP and rebooting several times will often produce the desired results of the wireless nic getting its permanantly leased, DHCP-assigned IP address. Note, that when the IP addressed is assigned within the specified DHCP range, it is always the correct one - the one the notebook was initially assigned. But often the wireless, and only the wireless, gets an address outside of the range. TIA, ds -- Dennis E.
