dhcp revisited...

[JD]

At work, I can use feisty dhcp networking 'as-is' (using avahi), but at home
(on Comcast) it doesn't seem to work.  In a previous thread regarding this,
the conclusion was to drop the avahi daemon, and just use dhclient3 to set
the ether device.

Is it possible for me to bring up Kubuntu at home, stop the avahi daemon,
and run dhclient to get networking operational, and let the system boot
'normally' at work using avahi (since this works at that location?)

Or is it really better just to remove avahi altogether ?
