I think that the delayed response from the dhcp server is causing my network related services to timeout/not find addresses (ie nfs mounts, nis, ntp, etc)
When it boots up it complains that it cant find the servers .. but once the machine is up, if I start any of the services that failed during boot up, they all seem to work fine.
They all seem to work fine? Does that mean you got an ip# from the dhcp server?
does anyone know if I can increase the timeout before it gives up on dhcp and continues to boot ?
File /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp, variable DHCP_TIMEOUT.
Btw this is sles9 and happens on every machine I have .. I would almost suggest looking at the dhcp server .. but since we are a large corp. this is not an option.
Perhaps the dhcp-server is slow. Look in the lease to see what dhcp server handed out that lease. Cheers, Leen
