Re: DC 10.70 vs 10.72

FYI...I finally got Ethernet working again. I had to change my order
of Ethernet initialization to get it to work.
--------------------------------------
Was:

Set Static IP and Net Mask parameters.
sock_init();
Enable DHCP mode.
Bring interface up.

Now:

Enable DHCP mode.
Set Static IP and Net Mask parameters.
sock_init();
---------------------------------------

I don't know if this is the required order of things or whether I've
run into another issue where DC fails to compile good code correctly, 
and all I to do to get it to work is to move it to a new place.

In any case, it now works again.
