Ok, can you tell me exactly what you want me to type to 'keep this card
on dhcp'?
/sbin/iwconfig eth1 xxxxxx ??
or
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 xxxx ?
or is there some setting elsewhere perhaps in an application?
and as fars as the router goes it is not my own so I can't do anything
for it.
btw using gnome in FC3 2.6.10 kernel
thanks,
mike hoy
