I think there are two solutions to this: - one is to remove whatever is in /var/lib/dhcpcd/ and try again. - te other is to look at the timeout settings in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp Good luck. On 21 Jun 2002, Andre Truter wrote:
Hi All,
I have a notebook that is running SuSE 8.0
I use the notebook on different networks (Work, home, clients, etc)
The whole idea (for me) for using a dynamic IP configuration when you have a portable computer, is so that you can just plug it into any network with a DHCP server and your computer wil then use the IP address given to it.
Now SuSE 8.0 does not seem do do this every time. When I get onto another network, the dhcpd service asks for a the IP address that it had on the previous network. Most DHCP servers respond with a NACK (I don't use that IP range, so go and play on the Highway with your requested address)
I RTFM'ed and I discovered that dhcpd normally DOES NOT request it's old IP. If you want that, you have to give it an option. (-s).
I cannot find any place where you can enable/disable this behaviour. It seems to be hardcoded somewhere.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me how to disable this?
Thanks
