Details, please ?
"no longer functional" - what do you mean ?
What is your DHCP server ?
Do you expect to get to the 10.10 PCs via DNS ?
What is your DNS server ?
"ifconfig -a" from one of the 10.10 PCs ?
Cheers, Andy!

Hi Andy, <BR>
<BR>
Thanks for the response. I'm not sure how much information I can give. I am quite new to Linux. I've been using for a couple of versions now, and have always just used SAMBA for my networking - and it always just worked, for both wired & wireless. One of the PCs in question is connecting via ethernet and one via wireless. I'm afraid this means that I'm not really sure what you're asking for here.<BR>
<BR>
Here however, is the output from ifconfig -a:<BR>

This is for the PC that connects via wireless.<BR>
