Hi! Back in July, when version 3.0+3.0.1rc11-5 of the dhcp3-client package came out, I noticed that my notebook no longer worked together with the DHCP server. I investigated a bit, but at that time it was easier for me to revert back to version 3.0+3.0.1rc11-4 and wait till somebody else reports the problem and the problem gets fixed. This was an ill idea as the problem exists till today. Ok, lesson learnt, here we go.
If I do # dhclient eth0 that results amongst other (usual) messages in receive_packet failed on eth0: Network is down and send_packet: Network is down If I first do: # ifconfig eth0 up and then # dhclient eth0 it works. The file /etc/network/interfaces contains the lines auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp As mentioned above, with version 3.0+3.0.1rc11-4 it worked. To me, it looks like dhclient previously did the "ifconfig eth0 up" itself, but no expects somebody else to do it, but nobody does. Any ideas? -- Stefan Bellon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
