The conference sounds interesting. Re your problem with getting a DHCP
address and the troubles I had a month ago, I was back at that same
office last week and the issue was resolved -- the IT person told me
that the address pool was exhausted and anyone logging one would have
had the same problem, regardless of OS. Now I can get a DHCP address
but am unable to resolve any name lookups... (did not have a chance to
discuss that issue with the IT person.)
