I just spoke with the ISP, and the modem does not have a DHCP server in it. It would make no sense for it to have a DHCP server unless it was a router, which it is not.
If your modem is in bridge mode, you would use the ISPs DHCP server. If it's in gateway mode, the DHCP server would be in the modem.
How would it switch from bridge mode to gateway mode simply because of a reboot -- and then only after a kernel update?
As far as I am concerned, 192.168.100.11 is being assigned by the OS, because the DHCP request has failed (timed out), on account of a network interface that has not been properly initialized.
I have never seen that happen. DHCP clients will usually default to the 169.254.0.0 /16 range, unless configured for something else.
That is what I would have expected too, but who knows? I suppose I could unplug the ethernet cable and do a reboot to find out. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
