Greetings I can't put my finger on this one! I load plenty of PCs and my dhcp is working perfectly (Fedora suse9 9.1 9.2 etc even a gentoo box and a centos box, With 9.3 it takes a good 10 minutes after boot-up before the system finally gets an IP address from the server. I have tried disabling the Susefirewall but it does exactly the same.. Any ideas as to what could be causing this. Please note that it is not one PC I have lots of them doing it? All were loaded manually (one by one) Thanks Chadley

You might want to run ethereal, to see when the dhcp request & ack occurs or if there are any errors.

Look at the DHCP log on the DHCP server for errors as well. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

Any ideas as to what could be causing this. Have you tried booting the SuSE machine with a live-cd to rule out some type of hardware problem? I favor Knoppix for this because of the excellent hardware detection, but any of the dozens now available should do. If you get an IP right away with a live-cd you've got a configuration problem, if not, maybe a hardware problem.

Yes, what I did was took the HDD out of the SUSe9.2 machine and put it into the 9.3 machine, (All the PCs are the same) I actually loaded the one with 4 different Distros to test last night. This is definitely a 9.3 issue, there are no errors in the logs, and I don't understand ethereal to try troubleshooting with that ?!?!. :/ Chadley Wilson -- -- Chadley Wilson Production Line Superintendant Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================
