>>>>>>>>> of my current working myth 0.25 back-end and tried on that hardware
>>>>>>>>> which previously worked fine, and it wont even work.

>>>>>>>> Are you using DHCP?  Is there anything unique about it's

>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> If your using manual IP's, did  you set dns servers in resolv.conf?

>>>>>>>> Actually I have even tried a fresh install on the exact same

>>>>>>> to 50% then disappears.
