Until then, I am working with 5.1.2 to get familiar with it. I have installed it on a dhcp network with the following: dhcp server: 192.168.0.1 fedora computer: 192.168.0.2 bsd computer: 192.168.0.3 >From the v 5.x computer I can ping 182.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2. When I try to ping 192.168.0.3, the ping fails. I can however ping 192.168.0.4 successfully. I cannot ping anything on the Internet. Problem 1: During the install, I set the ip to 192.168.0.3, yet the bsd computer is responding as 192.168.0.4. Problem 2: Because I cannot ping the internet, I went to take a look at etc/resolv.conf but it is not there. I have installed v 4.9 on multiple occasions and it has always worked fine. Installion of 5.1.2 exactly the same way fails to connect to the internet via my gateway. Any help will be appreciated.
