You never know. :-) As others have said, you are probably only allowed one IP address issued to one MAC address, which timed out overnight, and your attempt to use a different MAC address worked in the morning. If you only ever have one machine connected to a network, you can give them both the same MAC address, as was already suggested to you. That won't work f you wish to use more than one machine on the network (and Internet) at the same time, in which case you should get a small home NAT box / Router and configure it to present the expected MAC address (or just wait overnigth again). -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
