One really ugly, nasty kludge to try, is to add something like "sleep 10" to /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks, with the idea being that the watchdog timeout will occur during the sleep. [ I'm using a Xircom card with the watchdog timeouts, but I'm using a static IP address. It doesn't apply to you, but I've got to do a "ifconfig xe0 up ; sleep 10" before configuring my network settings. ] -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@soco.agilent.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
