Well, I think that there is a dhcp server running. When I connect in windows
it assigns an IP for my laptop. Then once that's done, I can log onto the
network.

I don't know about server logs. They're not particularly friendly about helping
anyone do anything other than the usual. I wouldn't expect any assistance
from them with this. I'll check with them and see if they are interested in
helping.

There are two of us that use Linux in the MMIS program that just started.
That leaves 28 others that we would like to expose to Linux. I am wanting
to use my laptop to serve web pages during class. I anticipate that there
will be many other opportunities to spread the word over the next two
years.

Steven, in windows the connection to the network seems to be a separate
operation from logging on to the network. Would Linux behave the same
way or would it all happen at once. In other words, does the dhcp client
try to log you on at the same time that it tries to get an IP assigned? I'm
pretty sure that I have all of the network, user name and password stuff
set up correctly, but if it wants to do it all at once, I would recheck it
because everything else seems okay.

Thank you for trying to help. I appreciate it.
