    Hi guys,

    Just received a new t61 here, did a fresh installation. Everything works fine, except when I try to connect via LAN. It says unidentified network/limited and won't connect automatically. BTW im going through a router. Oddly if I enter in a static IP, the connection works.

    Anyone know why it won't automatically connect?

    Thanks,
