I have a Debian build that was connected to a network with a DHCP server. I upgraded the distro to testing/unstable and now it can't see the network. In fact the error I am getting is:
>ifup eth0 Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.1rc13 Copyright 1995-2002 Internet Software Consortium. All rights reserved. For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/products/DHCP Listening on LPF/eth0/00:0b:cd:6d:e4:8a Sending on LPF/eth0/00:0b:cd:6d:e4:8a Sending on Socket/fallback DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 send_packet: Network is down receive_packet failed on eth0: Network is down DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6 send_packet: Network is down receive_packet failed on eth0: Network is down etc... My /etc/network/interfaces has: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp Can anyone suggest anything to try. I've Googled and can find some references to these error messages, but not found any solutions.
