Just a note, some broadband providers, like mine, use PPP over Ethernet.

OK, the problem is clear, thanks for the details.
I assume that you want to use the ethernet interface? This is what you do: Before running any other programs, run stack utility, click READ, click on Packet Driver, then click apply. Now open ethstat, and you should see a number other than 0x00000000 in the ethernet status field. Now you can run dhcp client. Cheers, Mike |

Thanks for the details.
You may well be right. DHCP is an odd protocol, because it is often invoked before an IP stack is configured. Anyway, try this: Before running DHCP, set your IP address to 0.0.0.0 If that doesn't work, try 255.255.255.255 Cheers, Mike |

ah! That looks good!
OK, when the DHCP client displays the allocated data, you then need to run STACK utility to set your new IP addresses. Then click APPLY to set them. Only once you have done that will you be able to access the internet. Cheers, Mike |

to sum it.
snip (i am with stupid.) -- PS: it fully worked!!  
Thanks! stack -> click packet driver-> set IP fixed 0.0.0.0 -> ethstat -> dhcp(read valid dns, IP, gateway, subnet) -> stack(modify dns, ip, gateway, subnet) -> httpc. except menuetos.org, any other sites works fine! and chess fully works. (although i don't know how to play chess) -- PPS: can you make this(the red one) procedure automatically? it will be nice to beginner. |

Quote: PPS: can you make this(the red one) procedure automatically? it will be nice to beginner. Yeah, I agree it would be nice to have some "autodetect" routine. I couldn't connect to the network before I read this thread. Anyway DHCP seems to work fine, I have no problems with browsing WWW  . |

The code to make dhcp automatically reset the stack variables is simple, but I will not do it until I am happy that dhcp doesn't cause any problems. I haven't had any negative reports yet, dhcp either works or it doesn't, so I could be making the update soon. Cheers, Mike. |
