Before tossing the computer out the window? or the O/S. Or in my case at least a router http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...?p=61533#61533

I am not well enough versed in linux javascript:emoticon ''to troubleshoot this in linux. As a matter of fact, I have not been in windows enough this week to see if there would be the same ip-consuming effect. So, I must part with linux for a couple of days at least and mess about with 'doze. Will play my games.. Yeah, cool Tombraider the original, the best with the occasional break to do a winipcfg and check on the address that is or ISN'T getting dished out.

I just can't muck about with networking that I know nothng about while running an o/s I am hopeless at. See you in a week or so
