Kent,
Thank you again for your response. To answer
your questions:
Do you have other machines getting dhcp
addresses on this LAN? Or better
yet, can you throw a Knoppix CD in the
computer and see if it gets an
address? (There may be some sort of
hardware/cabling/network issue.)
I have Debian running on my Mac and with the
Mac OS it is connecting with no problem. There
are also two PCs connecting with no problem.
Is this a stock kernel (you haven't compiled it
yourself)?
You can get the version with the command
"uname -a"
It is the stock kernel: 2.2.17.
Pump is installed and running (it was invoked
by "/etc/init.d/networking/ start " when it was
trying unsuccessfully to run the altered
/etc/network/interfaces
To see if you have one of these clients running,
you can use the ps
command,
That returns:
233pts/0 S 0:00 grep -E dhcp|pump
So,... still stuck.
