 	No, that's new to me now. I did.

 	I can't very well c&p the output; and it's all full of 
addresses full of code that turns out to be pure Geek to me. 
Places like /sbin/dhclient-script and 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions

 	There's a  line (in that dhclient output) saying 
"basename: missing operand" and another saying "No broadcast 
interfaces found - exiting."

 	Does any of that help at all??
