Your not messing/playing around with a 2.5 or 2.6 kernel are you? I know from experience that dhcpclient breaks with those kernels.. The way I got around it was to set a static ip (also make sure your gateway is correct) and that should help..
Don't know if this is what your doing but it just sounded familiar to me..

I used the Network Configuration tool to configure eth0 to automatically obtain IP address settings with DHCP and automatically obtain DNS information from the ISP. When I try to activate eth0 using the Network Configuration tool it fails with the message: Cannot activate network device eth0. I can reach the internet using the same cable modem at the same location on a different machine running red hat 6.2 with eth0 configured for dhcp. Can some one please tell me how to configure dhcp on RH 8.0 to work with the cable modem? Thanks in advance. Ken __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
