Hi there,
first, make sure that you have only one dhcp client installed:
in the /sbin/ifup the priority is the following
:dhcpcd,pump,dhcpxd,dhclient(dhcp-client)
the client do not seem to react in the same way. One of the best is
dhcpcd, IMHO, but it won't work on a system based on gcc < 2.96
i'll have to check in detail all the options of that initscript
could you try to reinstall that package and do an ifup eth0, for example
after setting /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (for your eth0
interface) to:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
and check if manually works ?
you could also do a /etc/init.d/network stop (and then start)
i tested dhcpcd here and worked but i enountered some uninstallation prb
on an gcc 2.95 system where I installed the latest version of dhcpcd
(compiled with gcc 2.96)
cheers,
