Hi, I am having a very odd issue with a realtek 8139 network card on my debian etch system. The card use to work just fine until I upgraded one of my windows xp professional drivers. The card still works on windows xp professional service pack 2 with Internet explorer 7 and all updates. Until I installed this update to windows I was able to use the network card in debian to get on line. Now all I get is that the dhcp server is not working. I can telnet to 172.16.0.1 port 67 and I get the message network is unreachable. If I try to telnet to another address or do anything else on the Internet I get the message from telnet when I telnet to a host telnet name or service not known. Could the upgrade of the windows driver burned new firmware on my network card and now linux does not work with it? My system is a system with removable hard drives so windows does not see linux and linux does not see windows but I think windows caused this issue with my network card. Any help would be great! thanks in Advance Nick Gawronski -- My web page is http://www.nickgawronski.com Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.
