yes (although I just run 'dhclient' without an argument):

I'm trying xcfe
By comparing with another box I see that the working version has
(/var/log/messages)
Jul 17 19:49:25 amd64 kernel: NET: Registered protocol family 10
Jul 17 19:49:25 amd64 kernel: lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
Jul 17 19:49:25 amd64 kernel: IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver
Jul 17 19:49:28 amd64 dhcdbd: Started up.
whereas non-working has only
Jul 17 14:49:27 (none) kernel: [ 8.120950] NET: Registered protocol
family 10
Jul 17 14:49:27 (none) kernel: [ 8.121367] lo: Disabled Privacy
Extensions
Does that mean anything?
thanks again, michael
