Hi List, I can't get a DHCP lease from my cable modem, here are the details: - The PC is a P4 500 MHz running 6.0-RELEASE just installed, GENERIC. - I tried with three different NICs, without result: -> a 3Com 3C509 (driver vx), -> a RealTek (can't remember the model, is about one year old) (obviously driver rl), -> and a D-Link DFE-528TX (driver rl). - The first two NICs are OK with static IP assignement, worked for more than 1.5 years on 5.2.1-RELEASE and 5.4-RELEASE, I didn't tested the last one since I just bought it today... - The modem is OK, no problems with: -> a laptop (i386 6-STABLE), -> another laptop (Ubuntu), -> a desktop PC (Win XP). - My laptop has an integrated RealTek 8139C+ (driver re), and the dhclient configuration is the same as the PC where the problem is (default config), therefor the problem shouldn't be in the configuration. - I don't know if it's important, but the DHCP client never worked, neither during sysinstall - I tried disabling PnP OS in the BIOS, as I read in some forums, but nothi= ng Any ideas? If more detailed infos are needed, please ask! Thank you in advance! -- Pietro Cerutti <pietro.cerutti@gmail.com> Non lasciar calpestare i TUOI diritti! Don't let 'em take YOUR rights!
