Hi,

  Just recently I've found my laptop has been taking a while to obtain a
lease.  I turned on all logging to the console and found the following
(modified a bit):

dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on ep0 to 255.255.255.255.0 port 67
dhclient: Trying media "media 10base2/BNC" 1
dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on ep0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6

  At this point a series of ``Trying media...'' and ``DHCPDISCOVERER''
are repeated (only the interval changed - 6, 12, 14, 18 then 6).

dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received..
dhclient: Trying recorder lease 192.168.0.10

  It looks to me like the DHCP server is not responding.  Is this the
case?  I've verified that the DHCP server is working (another machine
has no problems obtaining a lease).  Any ideas?

-lewiz.
