Anne, my DHCP server is local. My modem/gateway is handling that job. I have modified my replyto: address to be blank. Hopefully that will make things easier for everyone. Thanks all for the advice. On Thu, 21 Oct 2004 13:21:44 -0400, Edgars Smits <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > leave the

Maybe I should qualify my previous statements. After boot, ifconfig indeed, shows that ETH0 is UP, however it does not get an IP address from the DHCP server. I have not yet tried it with a static IP address. In order for me to do any network communication, I must su to root and execute an 'ifup

2004-10-20 Thread David Johnson
I'm having an issue with a machine that I just built using ml10.0 where eth0 shows as having [Failed] the initialization at boot time, but if I su to root after boot and do an 'ifup eth0' it comes up with no problem. Can anyone explain why this might be happening and how to fix it? Thanks -- Dav
