My system are networked and all connect to the net via DHCP through a windows box, short story but don't ask.
All systems on my home LAN, but 1 use, Linskys' nics and tulip driver.
The system I use to test the betas and today the RC1 has, with each,
been unable to connect to the Internet.
eth0 loads at boot and drakconnect gives no error during configuration
but if I use mcc and choose connect, am told connection failed and to
check my configuration using mcc, thats a lot of help.
I checked /etc/host files, changed host names, IP address, used
linuxconf and Nothing worked.
It finally dawned on me this afternoon, while beating on RC1 what the
problem is.
At installation during network set-up, or even afterwards using
drakconnect, if connection type LAN DHCP is selected then dhcp-client
and dhcp-server are installed, which is totally WRONG.
dhcpcd should be installed
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Once I removed dhcp-server and client and manually installed dhcpcd and
started the daemon I was quickly and effortlessly connect to the
Net.
This resolution may also apply to the bug reports in regard to dhcp and
D-Link cards.
