One possibility is to look at the setting for DHCLIENT_TIMEOUT in /etc/rc.config.d/dhcpcd.rc.config On Sun, 24 Feb 2002, Rob Keeling wrote:
I am trying to use DHCP to configure the the IP addresses of a number of SuSE 7.3 boxes, The DHCP server is running NT 4 SP6a, and is working perfectly with MS clients, however SuSE will only initalise the network if I manually set the ip address etc.
The linux DHCPclient seems to just hang, rather than obtaining a lease.
Anyone any idea whats wrong/what to look for?
