Where oh Where is the Router Addressing

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hi George,

Unless you're using the DHCP client, why would you leave default gateway and
name servers blank on the RH box?  Such a configuration will result in no
Internet access: inability to reach the router to attain net access, then no
DNS resolution...  Hmmmm.  Perhaps the thin client is getting the IP
automatically assigned from the router?  Try reconfiguring the router's
active DHCP server to supply correct IP info?
