[NBLUG/talk] Installation problem

[Peter Lutz]

I am typing this on a machine with Ubuntu 12.04 (running) and
Windows 7 and Windows 8 (along with several other linux variants).
I have the same controller chip Frank has.
I have never seen any problems of the type you describe,
BUT
I use static addressing on all my internal network(s).
That means that both window and linux addresses are set all the
time.  I don't know if static IPs will solve your problem, but
it may.  I use OpenWRT in my router(s).

Good Luck.

Peter
