Great! Now we know there is no DHCP traffic going out your box. Only some 802.1d bridge stuff. Bingo. The configs look fine. > I'll be glad to to try other suggestions. Go through the thread, and apply the suggestions already made :-) E.g.: % ifconfig a % ip l % ip a % ip r And: what was the dhclient's commandline? (Read: Was it correct?) And tcpdump's. Post _with_ invocations. So again: # dhclient -d eth0 # tcpdump -i eth0 -- Jan Minar "Please don't CC me, I'm subscribed." x 6
