Hi, well, I am not really fully acquainted with network configurations, so here it comes ... ;)
in blfs 6.0 I have no connection to the internet anymore (it worked before, I did not intentionally change any dhclient settings, and I did not build and use a new kernel), In my other two installations in my computer (currently Kubuntu 7.04 and XP) I have access to the Internet, using the same network interface (eth0). When I try to ping google.de in BLFS 6.x, then "ping: unknown host". BLFS 6.x starts as usual, during boot the message appears: "Bringing up the et0 interface [OK] Starting dhclient on the interface [OK]" Some network information which is present after a boot n BLFS 6.x: eth0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:07:95:27:30:A6 inet Adresse:192.168.178.20 Bcast:192.168.178.255 Maske:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenl�nge:1000 RX bytes:1420 (1.3 Kb) TX bytes:1026 (1.0 Kb) Interrupt:11 Basisadresse:0xd800 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# netstat -panuta Aktive Internetverbindungen (Server und stehende Verbindungen) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1891/X udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:68 0.0.0.0:* 1838/dhclient [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# => according to me the tcp and udp connection to my router is missing. /var/log/daemon.log says: Jul 29 16:57:36 localhost dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 Jul 29 16:57:44 localhost dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 Jul 29 16:58:05 localhost dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 Jul 29 16:58:06 localhost dhclient: DHCPOFFER from 192.168.178.1 Jul 29 16:58:06 localhost dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 Jul 29 16:58:06 localhost dhclient: DHCPACK from 192.168.178.1 Jul 29 16:58:06 localhost dhclient: bound to 192.168.178.20 -- renewal in 331497 seconds. /var/log/sys.log contains: Jul 28 18:22:02 localhost dhclient: receive_packet failed on eth0: Network is down Version of dhclient: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/rc.d/init.d# dhclient --version isc-dhclient-V3.0.2 Kernel version: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/rc.d/init.d# uname -r 2.6.15.1 content of /etc/dhclient.conf: # dhclient.conf interface "eth0"{ prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name; require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers; } # end dhclient.conf content of /var/state/dhcp/dhclient.leases: lease { interface "eth0"; fixed-address 192.168.178.20; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option dhcp-lease-time 864000; option routers 192.168.178.1; option dhcp-message-type 5; option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.178.1; option domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1,192.168.178.1; option dhcp-renewal-time 432000; option dhcp-rebinding-time 756000; option broadcast-address 192.168.178.255; renew 3 2007/8/1 11:49:55; rebind 1 2007/8/6 10:25:29; expire 2 2007/8/7 16:25:29; } lease { interface "eth0"; fixed-address 192.168.178.20; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option routers 192.168.178.1; option dhcp-lease-time 864000; option dhcp-message-type 5; option domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1,192.168.178.1; option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.178.1; option dhcp-renewal-time 432000; option broadcast-address 192.168.178.255; option dhcp-rebinding-time 756000; renew 4 2007/8/2 11:03:03; rebind 2 2007/8/7 08:58:06; expire 3 2007/8/8 14:58:06; } The command "dhclient -lf /var/state/dhcp/dhclient.leases" results in: ==> ./sys.log <== Jul 29 17:43:52 localhost dhclient: Listening on LPF/eth0/00:07:95:27:30:a6 Jul 29 17:43:52 localhost dhclient: Sending on LPF/eth0/00:07:95:27:30:a6 Jul 29 17:43:52 localhost dhclient: Sending on Socket/fallback Jul 29 17:43:52 localhost dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 Jul 29 17:43:52 localhost dhclient: DHCPACK from 192.168.178.1 Jul 29 17:43:52 localhost dhclient: bound to 192.168.178.20 -- renewal in 431949 seconds pppoe is not running: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/dhcp-3.0.2# ps -aux | grep pppoe Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'?
