ifconfig

[Peter van Oene]

Having trouble getting my DHCP working after a 2.4.20 kernel upgrade. My interfaces work fine manually configured at time. However, I have two issues.

1: DHCP doens't work. I have used etherconf to set them to auto and also ran dhclient (i don't seem to have dhcpcd). Ethereal displays no packets at all leaving the interface (bootp requests etc)

2: At times, when manually configuring using "ifconfig eth0 add 192.168.2.5" a logical eth0:0 is created instead of the address being assigned to the physical. I can't seem to change this when it occurs. I can down the 0:0, but when I issue the command again, I get it back.

I'm likely doing something dumb, but am getting really frustrated ;-)

Thanks for any tips

Pete
