DHCP with Windows XP is painful. The whole release/renew thing is
behaving badly.

You client might try to right-click the connection properties in Windows
and select "Repair".

As for the DNS I often noticed the issue with XP workstations using
DHCP. Most of the time I ended up setting the DNS manually in logon scripts.

Dual boot problem - hangs at "grub" - help!

Grub is not part of Redhat, it is the boot manager. From Grub you can
boot any kind of OS.

Are you in a Grub empty menu or at a Grub prompt? In both case this
could mean that the menu.lst (or grub.conf) file has not been found or
is invalid.

The first step is to make sure you reach the Grub prompt (grub>). If you
are in the menu you can type C to get the prompt.

From the Grub promt you can manually boot a partition. The online
manual has a lot of examples:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/

First you set the root, then you either locate the kernel or you give
control to another bootloader using the chainloader command. See the manual.

Note: use "boot" as the last command.


But if you can't reach the console, if you see only "GRUB" at the top of
the screen and no keyboard input is working, it means that you installed
Grub on the MBR and deleted the /boot/grub/ files. At this point you'll
have to use a bootdisk to access your hd (Grub bootdisk are easy to
create, see the online manual).

You can also wipe Grub and boot in Windows only. Use a Windows bootdisk
and run either fdisk /mbr (if the C: is FAT32) or get in the recovery
console and type fixmbr then fixboot (if the C: is NTFS). To load RH
you'll then need a RH or Grub bootdisk.

I seem to recall reading in one of these newsgroups that xmms can do sound
digitally so you don't need the audio cable. if it's easy enough to put
the cable in, might as well do that, but if not, perhaps see if xmms will
work.
