I have Charter internet service that is a cable modem. I have a linksys router and I connect a
linux pc all the time, but I use a w2k pc because all of my certification software is for a
windows pc. I don't understand why sometimes I turn on ether linux or w2k and I can't connect to
the internet.
In linux I have tried to use ifconfig to bring eth0 down and then up but nothing happens. In
w2k, I used the ipconfig /renew to get a new ip address, but it can't find anything to get an ip
address.
In the router I have the standard router name, with no host and domain name. I have local DHCP
on, but I only use a few address with a client lease time of 1 day. That is the default. Should
I turn off local DHCP and asign each pc a static ip?
However, I have found a way to resolve this issue but I don't like it. What I do is, I have to
turn off the pcs and the router and then wait for a minute and turn on the router and then the pc
of my choice. This is very, very anoying and it has come more often recently. I hope that I have
given you enough info to help.
