Hello, I've been seeking help (within LinuxQuestions.org) to resolve a CLFS/BLFS system issue that is preventing me from acquiring a network IP address using dhclient, however I have not received any helpful advice.
Can someone please advise me if I have perchance missed a critical step in my system's configuration? The post I created within LinuxQuestions.org can be viewed here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/cannot-acquire-dhcp-ip-address-from-router-596148 . To summarize the post, my network interface is detected, the appropriate Linux kernel module is loaded, and I can configure the interface manually using ifconfig, yet I am unable to ping any system or even the router within my local network. If you have any suggestions as to where I should focus my efforts to resolve this issue, please let me know. Thank you. Dave P.S. I have tried using a static-IP configuration as documented in CLFS, however that does not function either.
