C3000 with hung DHCP process?

No problem. I will be here.
Let me know if you see it again. we would like to know more details as well as it will help everyone. and THANK YOU for trying to replicate and willing to work with us.
Well, this morning when I woke my desktop iMac from sleep it could not connect to the Internet -- and it was the machine on which I had loaded WireShark (!).
[One note: looking at Preferences/Network the machine seemed to have a long IP-V6 address, but no IP-V4 address, no DNS field, nor anything else.]
Sadly, I had not yet practiced how to run WireShark with capture filters, but I did this:
a. Ran for a little bit, to get a "pre-restart" sample, and saved the file.
b. Started a second run, went downstairs, re-booted the router, waited until the machine could fully access the Internet (first gets address, takes longer to get Comcast DNS fields), stopped WireShark, and saved a second (longer) file.
What is the best way to send these 2 files to you?
Thanks for the ongoing help.

Hi John,
See if you can send me private message with attachements.
If not, just upload them on a dropbox public and give me a link to download.
Let me know if either of those work for you.
thanks!
