No, it's not loaded. After the "Feel free to retry" message I started a shell and ran lsmod, af_packet is not listed. I ran "dhclient eth1" from the prompt and it produced Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client 2.0pl5 Copyright 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 The Internet Software Consortium. All rights reserved.

For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/dhcp-contrib.html /etc/dhclient-script: 99: sleep: not found socket: Address family not supported by protocol Make sure to set CONFIG_PACKET=y and CONFIG_FILTER=y in your kernel configuration! exiting. Next I ran modprobe to load af_packet, then I exited the shell and tried "Configure the network via DHCP" again. It failed again. Finally I went back to the shell and ran "dhclient eth1" by hand (af_packet is still loaded) and it successfully negogiated a lease. Perhaps the "sleep: not found" message indicates the problem? > 2.

I have via-rhine in /etc/modules and the lines auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces. I don't know where to look for differences. -- Philip Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
