if you are having problems with no internet on rc1 and mabey it will work on
rc2 you need to change your routers ip adress. i had mine at 169.254.xxx.xxx
for vpn pourpes and i changed my router to 172.254.xxx xxx and boom internet
is now working so try it and see what happens

169.254.x.x sounds to me very much like a APIPA address. That address range
is reserved by IANA. It is normally on used to ensure that a client using
DHCP will always have an address (not conflicting with routable address's)
even if it cant reach the DHCP server.

Google APIPA to read up on it....

Hope I have helped chap...

Kind regards,

Jimbo.
