Hi,

I did that 'release all - renew all' again,
so that i could get that message again:

I got a definition for DHCP from google,
.
Short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for
assigning dynamic LP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic
addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it
connects to the network. DHCP also supports a mix of static and
dynamic IP addresses.
.
I guess this is some sort of little program to initiate a connection
with the remote server.
I have no reason to suspect it is not working,
as various other machines give the same results.

Just read last post ....
.
RDY light is on continuously.
SYNC light is on continuously.
U/S light is not on.
ENET light is mostly on, with little flickers at short intervals.
USB light is not on.
.
It just looks normal to me.
I have switched it off then back on.
I have switched it off then waited and switched it back on.
Many times.
.
I dunno what to do next.
I am still using dial up to connect.
I miss my proper connection.
.
Cheers, John
