Re: dh-client setup problems



Well, folks, I'm still having no success here. Here's an excerpt from my syslog files:

Mar 10 15:24:38 lambic dhclient-2.2.x: send_packet: Network is down
Mar 10 15:24:53 lambic dhclient-2.2.x: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14

As far as I know, roadrunner in NYC requires no host name - the modem validates the mac address of the ethernet card. It works fine when I boot to NT..., so I'm pretty confident the network is good, but I'm really at a loss right now...

Thoughts?
