First, I would like to thank everybody who offered advice to me yesterday regarding why iplogger was crashing my computer. I got that fixed, thank you. Now, (let me preface what I am about to say by adding that I am teaching myself linux by getting Debian running on my Thinkpad. Therefore, many stupid learning mistakes. . .) since yesterday, I have rebuilt my machine after successfully screwing up my libraries. My computer is connected in a networked office environment using DHCP. My IBM Thinkpad 390E is using a Xircom REalport card (which it recognizes fine). I have a DHCP client on my computer, and when I start it up, it gives me back an IP address. However, I cannot generate any further outgoing or incoming traffic. When I open up my browser, I can't browse web pages via domain names or IP addresses. I can't FTP anywhere, or do anything else. This sounds like a TCP/IP problem. Thing is, I have no ideas for how to fix the problem, or even to verify it. Any advice? THANKS!
Bryan
