we start at 6 so the Dev computer can be DHCP

the Internet is there so we don't have to change from static to DHCP, and manually re-wire to look for an answer to a question

There are many things that should have been tried before assuming a problem with the Classmate.

*Check your subnet mask, it should be 255.0.0.0, we have had some problems related to that
Tried 255.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.0. the Router is 255.255.255.0

how do you ping the eth port? (or am I misunderstanding this, and you mean ping through eth port? in that case, I tried)

I killed them after it was not working with the thought it was one of them messing with it.

I installed Labview2, DS1, Re-DS1

I did, and that worked until last meeting
