I'm interested to know how and why the MTU on the interface to an ISP, shaw.ca, is set to 576 rather than 1500. I haven't found a man page for dhcp3-client. Is there a trace or debug setting for dhcp3-client? How should the dhcp process be monitored? Thanks, ... p. crawford _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live helps you keep up with all your friends, in one place. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9660826
