dhcp failure

hi , the gallery works great! thank you.

I am having trouble with dhcp.

when I first unzip the gallery file and run it with vmplayer from a vmplayer on my pc at home, all is good it grabs a dhcp address and others can see it from the internet fine, my problem is that once I close the gallery IE at root login I issue the halt command and then close vmplayer I come back in the morning or later and it will not grab an dhcp address, it say failed to get address for eth0 destination host unreachable.

so I had a play, if I delete the gallery vmx files unzip it again from the file I downloaded and open it again with vmplayer all is good again.

but I have to add all my photos again, its kinda a pain in the bum

any ideas?

thanks

Nick
