Hmmm ... I took the card from one of the working linux boxes (bravo)
and put it in the windows box, and had similar if not identical
behavior. Also, the windows box does correctly get its DHCP
information on boot; it just mysteriously stops using the interface
after that.
I'll try the switcheroo again in a few days, hoping that something
easier gets suggested; the box doing my routing/gatewaying is
headless, which makes this sort of thing hard.

How do I check this (on both operating systems)? A quick grep of my
HOWTO directory doesn't reveal any information.
Thanks so much for the reply,
Rob
