10:22 PM rue_shop3: there is a 'dhclient' command, I dont know what it is
10:22 PM Tom_L: what's pump do?
10:22 PM rue_shop3: ok, try this
10:22 PM rue_shop3: pump is a type of boot
10:22 PM rue_shop3: but that dosn't matter
10:23 PM rue_shop3: run /etc/init.d/networking stop
10:23 PM rue_shop3: run /etc/init.d/networking start
10:23 PM rue_shop3: might fix it
10:23 PM rue_shop3: if its using that stupid new system thing, your screwed
10:23 PM rue_shop3: systemd
10:24 PM Tom_L: that didn't work
10:24 PM rue_shop3: were they there?
10:24 PM Tom_L: what?
10:24 PM rue_shop3: did it say it was starting networ servergis]te
10:24 PM Tom_L: i did the /etc/init.d line and it worked
10:24 PM Tom_L: yes
10:24 PM Tom_L: stopped and restarted
10:24 PM rue_shop3: is the machien dhcp?
10:25 PM Tom_L: i believe so yes
10:25 PM Tom_L: how can i check that
10:25 PM Tom_L: i may have changed that accidentally
10:25 PM rue_shop3: you just know cause when you instaled it you didn't set a fixed ip
10:26 PM Tom_L: pretty sure it's dhcp
10:26 PM rue_shop3: google for how to redo the dhcp using dhclient
10:26 PM rue_shop3: it used to not be possable, so someone wrote pump, but then they added it to dhclient
10:27 PM rue_shop3: and you dont have pump cause your not commandline monkey like me
10:27 PM rue_shop3: do dhclient is all you got
10:27 PM rue_shop3: and I dont know how to use it, so I use pump
10:27 PM rue_shop3: but I install pump on all my machines
10:27 PM Tom_L: this is the pc we moved to when the hdd died
10:27 PM Tom_L: copied all my stuff to it
10:28 PM rue_shop3: you need pump and the route to fix this easy
10:28 PM rue_shop3: your routers dhcp is prolly messed up
10:28 PM rue_shop3: windows will just ignore and use the old settings that it shouldn't
10:28 PM rue_shop3: arg
10:29 PM Tom_L: i fixed it i think
10:29 PM Tom_L: yup
10:29 PM Tom_L: dhclient worked
10:29 PM Tom_L: dhclient -r
10:29 PM Tom_L: then dhclient
10:29 PM Tom_L: or dhclient eth0
