Hi
I'm using Debian Sid (kernel 2.6.26). I need to configure the eth0 so
it uses the dhcp. In my case the "dhclient" never gets response at boot
time. Later, I have to restart the service "/etc/init.d/networking" to
get a IP. Sometimes I've also problems at this point. I don't not why
but sometimes I've to restart this service several times in order to get
a IP. May be it's because of the network module but it's also true that
it works fine whenever I configure it to use static ip address.
Could be a problem with the dchp server. Have you tested the dhcp server with
a different client; a different machine?
Could be a problem with the network adapter or the module. Try a different
adapter in the box?
Try a different kernel?
Try a different dhcp client?
Have you any iptables rules set that could interfere?
Did you check dmesg?
Perhaps try to change the interface's mac address?
To configure the "eth0" interface I write the following lines in the
"interfaces" file:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
This seems fine. Is there anything else in the file that could interfere?
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
