[computer-tech-support: 7843] Re: Networking Solution?

Thanks for the great info,
I like manual configurations, because you can always track the problem
or troubleshoot it, although my network here, is semi manual and the
other half is DHCP dependent...but when i face a problem like
connection is active and I can ping but no internet access is
possible, I commonly change it to automation...and when get a correct
DHCP, everything is solved...
