Re: Re: lost dhcp on boot up
Try dhclient(8) manually from the command line. If that doesn't work,
try spying on the connection using tcpdump(8). Punch your firewall
properly. That's what I'd do. And please post the useful bits verbatim
(e.g. that interfaces entry--who says it's not malformed?).
The error messages are dmesg(8), ip(8)/ifconfig(8), tcpdump(8).
I tried executing dhclient; it just returns a prompt. This is what
tcpdump collects from eth0 when I execute dhclient
I tried to paste but :-( ; it's in attachment tcppkt.txt [it doesn't sya
anything interesting to me]
The /etc/network/interfaces file is also attached.
There were no errors related to dhcp or eth0 in dmesg or messages
I'll be glad to to try other suggestions.
Thanks
Paul
