I've been able to get everything I needed working properly except for one thing now. And I assume that it is a problem in the OE linux kernel, or me missing some packages. So my problem is that linux does not connect to the DHCP server automatically when I plug in the ethernetcable. When I plug-in the cable before I launch the linux, this is working fine because at start-up the DHCP-server is asked for a new IP-lease. But when I don't plug-in the cable, and I plug it in when linux is already booted, the DHCP-server isn't contacted for a new IP-lease and I can't connect to the Internet. I can use the "/etc/init.d/networking restart" command but this isn't a solution of course because it should work all the time, also if I'm not there to enter that command... So, do I have to change some settings in the kernel, or do I have to install some extra packages to get this working properly? Thanks in advance, Jan Pannecoeck
