If you open a broswer and goto http://192.168.1.1 (on your network) you should see the routers page and be asked for a username and password (look in the router manual or the bottom of the router for defaults) Then some routers allow you to do network tests etc from their setup web page. This certainly all looks to be a dhcp problem. -- Robin Cornelius http://www.byteme.org.uk -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
