Thanks Tony dhclient was running, so I have killed it off.
Not sure why dhclient starting on bootup is causing a problem as I never had
this problem till after last weeks bab, this box has been on static IP since
I have had it.
Does dhclient use dhclient.conf for its setting as there no reference in there
to the local network and the file has a time stamp of 04-11-2004??
How do I stop dhclient from loading at bootup without uninstalling it?
