Okay, I don't have much experience with dhcp under linux but,
Here's a few suspects 1. HOSTNAME is localhost.localdomain, it might be a problem for DHCP? 2. The long delay sounds like some kind of timeout problem 3. Are the nameserver settings in resolv.conf really your ISP's DNS servers? Also, *** I thought DNS servers where located via DHCP? Try removing the references to DNS servers. The DCHP BOOTP protocol should locate these for you automatically. What info did you get from your ISP on how to set up your host for DHCP?
