Don't know what else to do with DHCP...help??

[hoe-waa at hawaii.rr.com]

I think I'll leave mine as is until I or someone 
(hint, hint) comes up with the real fix. I don't 
reboot this machine very often and my script file 
seems to work fine.

If you are interested, here it is

$ cat /root/scripts/start-sk0.sh
#! /bin/sh
killall -9 dhclient
sh /etc/netstart
ifconfig -a

If I ever have to reboot, I log in as root and execute 
this script and the network comes up fine.  I then 
exit and log in as my normal user and startx. It 
was never more than an annoyance to me, so I can 
live like this.
