RE: dh-client setup problems
Did you have any other box connected to your cable modem before you
connected that box? (or different NIC)
Did you try to cycle power on your modem?

Well, the card works under NT, and before I attempted this move to DHCP I
was using the card to connect to an internal network as well as a verizon

when attempting to connect.
Any other ideas on how to test this? Please
