[opensuse-factory] 11.0 Beta3 gets different IP address from DHCP server
It appears that the DHCP client for 11.0 Beta3 consistently gets a different IP address than 10.2 does from the DHCP server in my DSL router. If this is not a bug, it might be well to mention this in the release notes, because I am probably not the only one who uses /etc/hosts to configure their local network. I hesitate to report this as a bug because there are easy enough ways around this -- just changing my /etc/hosts files being the easiest. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I noticed something like that too and had to adapt some NAT config. But iirc that happend not with Beta 3 install but some post Beta 3 package update.

That explains why my network printer suddenly stopped working -- my notebook got the DHCP address the printer used to have from my DSL router/wireless combo. And yes, I believe that was a pretty recent change.

My notebook with 11.0-beta3 surprisingly got a new IP address by DHCP too. Viele Grüße Eberhard Mönkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
Does the DHCP server get a different MAC address? Erik

No. It was the true MAC address (like before), but a different IP nunber. So maybe only a matter of "lease timeout", but the lease time was not reached. Viele Grüße Eberhard Mönkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)

After looking into it further -- it appears that this bug only occurs when you use "Traditional Method with ifup" instead of "User Controlled with NetworkManager". When using NetworkManager it gets the same address 10.2 gets (as does 10.0, 10.1, Fedora Core 9, and Ubuntu 8.04). The current dhcp in Factory segfaults when it tries to renew its lease (bug #394375), so I think I will get wait for RC1 before bothering the DHCP people with a bug report (maybe by then they will have gotten NetworkManager to work correctly with multiple interfaces). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
