[CLUE-Tech] AT&T Broadband

[Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier]

Have you tried unplugging the modem & rebooting?

I had the same kind of problem last night -- but this morning
everything seems to be (finally) working right.

Last night I managed to pull an IP & DNS, but couldn't resolve
*anything* -- I could ping the AT&T DNS & even some other IPS,
but nothing else worked.

This morning, all is well. I'm 99.9999% all the problems are
on their end.

Oh -- I'm in 80231, if that means anything.

I spent two hours trouble shooting with my three two Linux boxes, my OpenBSD box, and my Mac before I broke down and called support.  I could not get an IP assigned with any of those machines.  All were previously configured to work with DHCP on the @home network, and all were working fine.  My OpenBSD was the gateway so would get an IP assigned by @home and then it was assigning 192.X.X.X numbers for the rest internally.
