I'm having a problem acquiring an ip address from my netgear broadband router.<SNIP> Here is the boot log error message:
Hmm.. I think there was someone who reported that the Suse DHCP client (dhcpcd) was requesting an inifinite lease, which made it go haywire - on someone's corprorate DHCP server..something like that. He made the dhcpcd request a shorter lease time - and it worked. Myself: II had some kind of problem too with a Dlink at home, my Suse box just wouldn't get an adress, well, I just decided to change the environment parameters slightly, just to be done with it. Instead of having the Suse PC just get an address from the Dlinks default private scope, I told DLink to fix an IP address by registering the box's MAC. to it. -- just to change the parameters a bit. Worked fine after that. jk -- Suse Linux 9.0 | 2.4.21-166-smp4G | KDE 3.1.4 | XFree86 v4.3.0.1
