Re: DHCP Server unreachable

You may have to force the Ethernet card to 100Mbps, if it is a gig-e
card. I haven't seen this problem with a SB5100, but I guess it could
happen. For some reason Dells sometimes won't realize they are on a
100Mbps connection with some cablemodems (I see it more often with
Scientific Atlanta and Terryon modems).

Thanks for the advice. I was just disconnecting the ethernet cable
from my laptop and connecting it to the Dell. I tried powering off the
cable modem for 1 min, connected the ethernet cable to the Dell,
powering up the cable modem and then the computer, but still the same
problem persists.

I do have a router (which works with my laptop) but I thought I better
not complicate things and right now I'm just connecting from my cable
modem's ethernet port directly to the Compaq or Dell ethernet port.
