Re: [leaf-user] DHCP client
To clarify, however... Bering is indeed setup to use pump.lrp by default, and it works extremely well. HOWEVER, since Bering is set up so that you can use DHCP, PPP, or PPPoE with the default image, pump.lrp is NOT loaded by default in syslinux.cfg. So, if you open up syslinux.cfg and add pump to the LRP= statement, you should have no issues getting your Bering box to grab an IP from your provider for eth0.

RE: [leaf-user] DHCP client
Or you can do pump -s it will tell you more details about the DHCP status of your router. Try to ping IP instead of names first as you may need to specify the DNS. Your ISP DNSes will be listed in the output of the above command.

Eth1 gets the static address it has been assigned. Running pump -s returns "Operation failed", as do pump -R or -r, with or without adding pump -i eth0. I tried switching the order of the nic drivers to see if it was a hardware problem. They both run fine as eth1, and fail to collect an ip as eth0. I tried not loading the shorwall package (read somewhere that it might block packages from the dhcp server), to no avail. My debian box has no problem connecting, no fancy configurations required by the provider, same /etc/network/interfaces as the default LEAF box one (minus the static eth1, only one nic). Dhclient gets an ip no problem. Really, I have no idea what might be going wrong. I briefly tried running with the dhclient.lrp package, but it seems to require a file called /etc/init.d/network in some scripts, which isn't there. Maybe I need to explore this route further, but it's strange that pump doesn't want to work. -- Alex Borghgraef --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.

Dhclient gets an ip no problem. pump is badly broken in a way which causes many DHCP servers to ignore it. It sends requests with the source address of the internal interface instead of the standard 0.0.0.0; most ISPs have their DHCP servers to ignore requests coming from ranges (esp. RFC1918 addresses) which they don't provide. It took a little work moving files around to get dhclient.lrp working on wisp-dist but it was otherwise uneventful.
