Can't acquire dchp lease while Windows can

[T o n g <mlist4suntong@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

What might be the problem that my laptop can't acquire dchp lease from 
Linux while Windows can? 

Same spot, same line. Tried two different distros that had no problem 
acquiring dchp lease at my home, neither works. Wired network, not 
wireless, but wireless network works.

What might be the reason? Might the network require IPX to acquire dchp 
lease or using wins services? -- just making wild guesses here. 

Please comment.

Thanks
