I actually turned OFF all DHCP services provided by Apple stuff [ABS's and
computers] - and turned ON the DHCP serving on my router [hooked up to my
DSL connection] - and I am able to get DHCP addresses on the Newton just
fine now - at home at least.
I have not had a chance to check this out at work yet - where I have ABS's
and an OS X Server that can do DHCP. More info as I have it..
