DHCP problem following Etch upgrade
This is the same problem as in my previous thread ("Hanging during
boot-up following dbus upgrade") but a response on that thread has
enabled me to narrow it down a bit.
dhcp-client (I assume) is pausing indefinitely at the "bound to
80.x.xxx.x -- renewal in 56953 seconds" message. This applies during
boot-up and also if I run "ifup eth0".
Hitting Ctrl+C gets past the problem and the IP address appears to be
bound correctly despite this pause - at least, I'm not having any
difficulty connecting to the internet.
The problem has only started arising since a recent upgrade in which I
replaced dbus-1 with dbus, on my Etch installation.
Also, while we're on the subject of dhcp-client, is there any
reason/benefit to installing dhcp3-client instead of, or as well as,
dhcp-client? At the moment I only have dhcp-client installed, it's not
been a problem to date, and am not quite sure what the difference is.
Thanks,
John
