On a small network(company), with mostly windows machines is it
possible for a debian system to through off that network. I know it
is silly, kind of on the lines of I broke the internet, but just
checking, I am not used to debian systems. We have had strange
activity, post-debian install, the only thing that might be the
culprit is I installed a DNS-server(which I know I didnt) or this
application(dhclient-2.2.x) is not syncing properly with the cisco
router?

Here are my netstats, I dont think I am running anything dangerous.

I am not really the (windows)network-admin, but I always get the "hmm,
I bet that linux system(the debian system I setup) is throwing off the
network", and I dont know exactly, but completely random machines not
being able to get the correct dhcp addresses(when rebooting. I kind
of said, well maybe there is something in the 2.4.20 tcp/ip stack(ECN
problems?) that might not be syncing correctly. The debian machine
works fine(at least to me) and connects to the network and picks up a
valid dhcp address.

shrug?
