I just got my workstation (Hephaestus) back here, and Ive fired it up, and it runs smoothly.
Great, right? Nice to have the speed back, the laptop (Kastor) was getting on my nerves...
BUT
Code:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\ipconfig

Ethernet adaptor CAT5:

C:\ ipconfig /renew
Windows IP Configuration
An error occurred while renewing interface CAT5 : unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out.

Now, Fedora throws the same error (host name lookup error), but somehow it still gets an IP from somewhere.
Just having an IP is useless though, it still wont connect.
Network card is onboard, and it worked here in San Diego before break, and it worked at home during break, but now back in San Diego, it wont connect.
Ideas? Ill be battling this all weekend until Hephaestus works.
