If there is a pingable gateway upstream (not yet WAN) of 192.168.1.1/24 will it cause a conflict when turned on if still connected to the network (does not run a dhcp server). It will have to go through other routers first. _______________________________________________ linux-user mailing list linux-user@egr.msu.edu http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user </PRE></DIV></BODY></HTML>
