[gentoo-dev] dhcpcd doesn't work

[gentoo-dev] dhcpcd doesn't work

[scott worley]

Hi,

I'm using rc6-r12.  Everything was OK while using ppp.  I got ADSL and
now cannot get dhcpcd to work.  Dhcpcd works every time when I boot into
SuSE 7.2.  I even downloaded dhcpcd from freshmeat, copied the tar ball
to the gentoo partition, rebooted gentoo and built dhcpcd.  Still
fails.  The only error message I get in syslog is:

dhcpcd: timed out waiting for valid DHCP server response.

I get this whether I run /etc/init.d/net.eth0-dhcp or 
/sbin/dhcpcd -d eth0.

The system is:
gentoo rc6-r12
vanilla kernel 2.4.10 with
	CONFIG_PACKET=YES
	CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP=NO
	CONFIG_NETLINK=NO
	CONFIG_NETFILTER=YES
	CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG=NO
	CONFIG_FILTER=YES
	CONFIG_UNIX=YES
	CONFIG_INET=YES
	CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=YES
	CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER=NO
	CONFIG_IP_PNP=NO
	CONFIG_NET_IPIP=m
	CONFIG_NET_IPGRE=m
	CONFIG_NET_IPGRE_BROADCAST=NO
	CONFIG_IP_MROUTE=NO
	CONFIG_INET_ECN=NO
	CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES=YES
NIC is SiS900 loaded as module in /etc/modules, verified module is
loading correctly.

Am I overlooking something simple in dhcpcd configuration???

thanks,

Scott,

Perhaps you have firewall rules blocking that communication?

Gontran,

I checked the FW rules with iptables -L and the policy was ACCEPT on the
three default chains.  I have not configured any FW rules.

I brought up eth0 using /etc/init.d/net.eth0 script with the net
variables set to the last values of SuSE dhcpcd.  Get a "network is
unreachable" SIOCTL error.  I don't think its hardware because I'm using
the same HW with SuSE.  Of course, SuSE is using a modified 2.4.4
kernel, not 2.4.10.
