Hi,
I have newly installed Debian Sarge and am for all practical purposes a
newbie.
My desktop system is connected to my laptop via a D-link router (not
wireless) using DHCP.
The router is 192.168.0.1.
Assigned addresses should be in the range: 192.168.0,10-99
Both W98 and OS/2 see the entire network without problems.
Under Debian...

I have perused man and info on all of the topics I can think of.
Obviously, DHCPDISCOVER should be addressing 192.168.0.1.
What can I do to get the network running?
TIA
