I too have called them a number of times and have gotten no usefull information. I do get an error when I try to get an IP address of DHCP. The error is: DHCPACK from 24.34.242.34 rejected due to bogus yiaddr of 0.0.0.0 Does this mean anything to anyone? Thanks. -Erik On Tue, 18 Jun 2002 16:15:24 -0500 "Phil Doroff" <phil21 at five-elements.com> wrote: > So, want to explain the process (since you apparently > know it and are > witholding) of "registering" your Linux box? > > I could swap NIC's, yes.
