UNSOLVED
E520 - Not receiving IP address from DHCP server
New dimension E520
Connecting known good eithernet cable from router to E520, the computer never completes acquiring IP address.
When I look at the DHCP table on the router, it shows providing the computer with a valid address.
Restarted router and computer with no luck.
The router provides ip address via dhcp to all other computers on the network.
Tried to configure the enet on the computer with static ip address. It does seem to pass traffic from computer to any other device.
Router:
Linksys WRT54G V6
Subnet 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0
DHCP 10.10.10.100 - 10.10.10.149
Any ideas?

- PROBLEM RESOLVED:
When I connected another computer to this same network outlet in my home, it would make a connection with a valid IP address. However when I connected the new Dell, I could not get a valid address.
I troubleshot by hooking a router directly to the Dell E520's e-net port and was able to make a good connection.
I repunched the keystone jacks at the wall sockets and now am able to make a connection to the production router.
Thanks for taking the time to work with me.
I should have make sure layer 1 was working completely. drag0nhead

I think I am in the right forum. I have a hard wired network (LAN) in my home where I was running 98se and ICS to access the internet. Recently we purchased 2 inspiron 1501 running XP with the Broadcom 440x 10/100 integrated controller. Before I hook these up to my hard wired network, I would like to see them talk to each other over a crossover cable. Once this is done then its time to put them on with my hard wired LAN and ICS. To put one thing to rest, I use the cable all the time with my other computers. Due to security reasons, at this time I am not interested in using WiFi but will later. I need a step by step guide to do this with the comuter to computer and crossover cable. I have searched most of Dells stuff that is available to me (that I know of) and predomintely I find wireless LAN. To make it simple, I am confused and frustrated. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Once that is set up, it is my intent to do the wireless LAN
