Thanks Erik,
I did play with the router and with a restart the connection started
working again. Of course I dont know why this affected the FC3 box
alone as the Windows PCs were able to get an address with no problem.
Well it may have something to do with the fact that the card is not
natively supported in Linux. I hope this situation does not repeat, as
I do not want to restart the router every two days. It simply is not
the solution.
Thanks for your help.
