After the ACID load is complete, using a DHCP router, I run "setup" from the command prompt, and configure it manually, IP, netmask, gateway, and DSN. When I do this on a WinXp machine in the TC/IP window, connects directly to the public (static) IP just fine. When I do it on the Linux box with ACID, eth0 can't find the connection. On a separate server, I use "setup" to configure the static address on the back side of a router with a static IP (not reserved DHCP address), with all the associated IP accoutrements mentioned above, with router port forwarding from the LAN static IP, and eth0 won't find it either (fails on boot, or "service network restart"). I had not thought about manually editing /etc/resolv.conf. It is not clear to me what this would look like. Which is likely the root cause... not knowing what I am doing, but trying to learn :-) Thanks, Bob kk6ecm -----Original Message----- From: Willem Schreuder [mailto:willem@prinmath.com] Sent: Sunday, May 04, 2014 6:43 PM To: Bob Cc: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Finding older version of ACID On Sun, 4 May 2014, Bob wrote:

Actually you can use a static IP, but you may need to edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the DNS server IP yourself. I find the easiest thing to do is set it up with a DHCP assigned IP address, and then do the static config manually after the fact. -Willem AC0KQ ================================================================ Dr. Willem A.
