This is really odd. Like I said, my dhcp server : has a debian box and 2 windows boaxes connecting to it and they run : fine. Do I need to do anything before I attempt to run dhcp eth0? The : only thing that I have done is enabled the network card by loading the : tulip driver with modprobe. Is there something else I should do first? You can try issuing "ifconfig eth0 up" to make sure that the interface is up and then run "dhcpcd -d eth0". Without knowing you network topology there's not much more help I can be. You may not be connecting b/c the card isn't correctly auto-negotiating with the switch/hub it's plugged into. Maybe you DHCP server has tresholds or does expect a hostname or MAC address. Maybe the network card is bad. Try swapping it with one of the working ones. : >What version are you running.

You may want to : either update the script or add the dhclient file back into the sbin : directory. I'll make a note on the Wiki to update the script (unless Dan or Achim beat me to it). : Is there a rc4 iso image that I can get at? Maybe using a different : image will be of help? I don't think it'll help. Right now we need to figure out what's hosing your network. --Jerry name: Jerry Alexandratos || Open-Source software isn't a phone: 703.599.6023 || matter of life or death... email: jerry@thehutt.org || ...It's much more important || than that!
