I'm running default dhcpcd in SuSE 8.0 and there's no -s option given by the startup scripts. All options are set in /sbin/ifup-dhcp, and controlled by options in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp. I suggest you set DHCLIENT_DEBUG to yes. That will let you see every dhcp transaction sent and received (it will be logged in /var/log/messages).
Done that and the log file reports that dhcpcd requests a specific IP address.
What is puzzling me, is that if dhcpcd is not run with the -s option, why dos it ask for a specific IP?
If all else fails you can always remove the cache file manually from /var/lib/dhcpcd/ (or run dhcpcd -k from the command line. That will also clear the cache and force the client daemon to request a brand new ip)
I removed the cache file and it complained about DHCP client already running.
dhcpcd -k reports that dhcpcd is not running.
I have tried all these things before.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. This is very funny ....
I am gonna try to reboot with the cache file removed. Maybe it will help...
I did the reboot. dhcpcd does a BROADCAST request. The DHCP server supply the IP that it always supply for this machine on this network, but dhcpcd apparently does not see it. It just times out. (I have my timeout parameter set to 99999 in the configuration) Has anyone trued the alternative dhcp client ( ISC dhclient) ? -- Andre Truter Software Engineer Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 AIM: trusoftzaf http://www.trusoft.za.net <-------------------------------------------------> < The box said: Requires Windows 95 or better... > < So I installed Linux > <------------------------------------------------->
