I actually have a question about DHCP too: I am trying to do an FTP install of 4.3-RELEASE. However, when I get to the portion where it asks me for my network connection. It finds the Ethernet card, but when it probes for the DHCP server, it times out and doesn't find it. Any ideas why? I'm using Road Runner (Cable) NYC from Time Warner City Cable. If anyone has any clues, please e-mail me back. Thanks. -- Jonathan M. Slivko ------------------------------------------ Jonathan M. Slivko <js43064n@pace.edu> Network Admin., DataSyrge Internet S.
