Whenever I leave the Linux machine on for more then a day, it drops out of the DHCP clients table on my router, I am using EMIII to monitor the Folding on there, and until I open the shares on the Linux machine EMIII cant connect to it..........

Anyideas why this might be happening???????????
I also posted at Mandrakeusers.org, but I seem to get ignored there so I though I would try here also.......

So, are you setting a static IP address on the Linux box or are you getting the IP address automatically from the DHCP server on your router? If you are doing DHCP from the router, try setting a static IP address on the Linux box.

I fixed the dirty dog, I reinstalled Linux on there last night......heh

Then I tryed to install Linux on my D: drive of my main rig, it went good till I decided to play with GRUB.....
I wanted XPee o be the default boot os, then I rebooted and ended up having to reinstall XPee also............

Chalk it up to a learning experience, if I do that again, I will definatly make a rescue disk.........heheheeee
