I have a customer using an ADSL connection, that gives the IP address using DHCP.
The SuSE release is SuSE 8.1. All current YOU patches is installed. The customer is also running a local DHCP server to provide internal IP's to the other machines on the local network.
I changed /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME from "yes" to "no" and now I can get the IP from the ISP DHCP server without problems. Just because im curious, in what way can that setting make the DHCP client not get an IP, and *only* when the firewall is active? Should I report this as a bug to the maker of dhcpcd or is it a SuSE bug, or maybe it isn't a bug at all? -- Stefan Nilsen MILLNET AB 013-25 40 19 0736-330 382 stefan.nilsen@millnet.se http://www.millnet.se
