Re: problems with dhclient after upgrade to sarge



Hi Klaus,

Sorry for not responding sooner, but I'm not subscribed to the list, so it 
took me a while to find your messeage.

In response to your questions:

> what does 'route -an' give you?

I first ran /sbin/dhclient, and I get all the normal looking stuff. Then 
running 'route -n' gives:

ansum:~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination	Gateway		Genmask		Flags Metric Ref  Use 
Iface
ansum:~#

So, there's nothing there.

> what does 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' give you?

ansum:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
search cp.telus.net
nameserver 66.203.195.237

Looks normal...

> you are getting an ip, obviously, so maybe try pinging your dhcp server?

ansum:~# ping 66.203.194.1
PING 66.203.194.1 (66.203.194.1): 56 data bytes
ping: send to: Network is unreachable
ping: wrote 66.203.194.1 64 chars, ret=-1
ping: send to: Network is unreachable
.
.
.
So, even though dhcp seems to be working, the rest of the computer is 
etting the message. Does this narrow the problem down at all?

Thanks,

David
