lamprokpr Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I thought I would move up to 9.2 for something different, and I was successful. Where my previous 9.1 dhcp auto setup worked flawlessly, the new version keeps giving my router and eth0 the same ip address. I have to reset the router everytime I want to connect, and then redo the wizard. At that point my WinXP machine will also lose it's connection so I will reset the router a second time and then both machines will work for a short time but within a half hour the linux box will lose it's connection for no apparent reason. Does anyone have any ideas before I reformat and go back to 9.1? Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Have you cloned the mac address of the NIC in the router!!! Sometimes you do this becuase its locked to a DSL modem.... If you do then DHCP will allocate them thesame addresses!!! If not then try deleting all the expired leases.... I use webmin to do this!!!

chris z Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 (edited) do you have a static or dynamic IP address? if it's dynamic, a simple fix that sometimes works is shutdown the computer, turn off the ADSL modem, let it off for a minute to clear & reset itself, turn it back on, then reboot. might be worth a shot. i've had to do that already & it worked for me........... :unsure: EDIT: i don't have a network, so i don't have a router. but, i chose the "upgrade" option when i moved from MDK9.1 to MDK9.2 & it worked flawlessly. but for some reason, i did have to re-enter my ISP info in the final setup configuration screen. after i did that i had nary a problem connecting & staying connected.
