I found /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases, and can't see that the Raq is even given
an IP address - I know dhcpd is okay, cos my laptop gets an IP address from
the server okay.

This doesn't happen now... but I'm not sure whats changed. Now I get 'Net
booting' on the LCD screen.

I tried the Cobalt restore CD, but can only get so far cos my network card
isn't supported.

Any help greatly appreciated.
