Sorry, but it does work. The dhcp and gateway address are identical and verified multiple times by winipconf and ipconf. I don't think the gateway is on the 10-net based on this output. (If it helps, this is stumping several people who don't understand how the different nets work.) Here is the arp -p output (under win): Interface: 216.164.36.XXX on Interface 0x3000004 Internet Address Physical Address Type 10.17.44.XXX 00-20-cd-02-2f-b0 dynamic since /etc/dhclient.conf is empty, I don't think it is a syntax error.
