Hi,
 
I have two nics in my RH 7.2 system.  Eth0 goes out to the internet through my cable modem and eth1 is connected to my internal network.  Both are using DHCP.  Eth0 initializes very quickly, but eth1 has a long pause before it is successfully initialized.  My DHCP server is a W2k machine.  I know we probably suspect the W2k machine as the cause off the bat, but the long pause only recently started.  Before now it was very fast.  I looked in /var/log/messages and a message is being returned after initialization that says: Netmask: Unknown host.
 
Any idea what could be the cause of this message?
 
TIA,
Bill
