Hi, all-
I am a linux newbie (2 years experience) living here in Phoenix. I run a
dual boot with Corel Linux 2nd edition and Windows 98. I am regrettably
posting to you from the Windows side, as I am now unable to connect to
the intranet using Linux.
I had no appreciable problems connecting until yesterday. I have
verified that DHCPCD is still starting at boot-up and is running.
Ifconfig shows that the network connection is up, and the ip addresses
look valid to me, although on one or two occasions when I have run it
the RX line shows that a large amount of data has been dropped. I am no
whiz at this, but I think that I have tried the most obvious, such as
killing DHCPCD and then restarting from a command line with -r, -h,
etc--, renaming the resolve.conf file, shutting off power to the modem
and then restarting the modem, all without success. I am at wit's end
here, I hate using Windows, and I want my Linux back.
Is anyone else having these blues? I thought it odd that this happened
on the day after Cox supposedly terminated any vestiges of @home service
(e-mail, etc.) I would appreciate any help/advice you can give on
troubleshooting and fixing this problem.
Thanks,
Lee Einer,
