At its worst, it was never that bad for me.  Does the sync lock light on
the cablemodem stay on?

When I had problems, I found it helpful to put a lot of echo statements in
the ifup* scripts and the other scripts they called.  Also most of the
dhcp clients have a verbose option.  Which dhcp client are you using?


As a side question, we've been videotaping for quite a few meetings by
now.  Are any of them available on the server yet?
