Hi all, installing on my ibm560x laptop with ethernet pc-card the dhcp network configuration fails at setting default route.
Installation media are floppies boot.img, root.img, net-drivers.img from: http://ftp.debian.de/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/20040801/images/floppy/ Local network is behind dsl-router (Netgear WGR614 ). (1) When using the WGR614 (172.16.1.1) as dhcp server: Choosing 'configure the network' and then 'autoconfigure network with dhcp' it says that 'network autoconfiguration was successful. However, no default route was set'. From the shell I can see that the /etc/resolv.conf is not existing as well as a 'route add default gw 172.16.1.1' is missing. The /var/lib/dhclient.leases from the WGR614 reads: ------------------------------------------------------------------ lease { interface "eth0"; fixed-address 172.16.1.2; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option routers 172.16.1.1; option domain-name-servers 217.237.151.97,194.25.2.129; option interface-mtu 0; option dhcp-lease-time 259200; option dhcp-message-type 5; option dhcp-server-identifier 172.16.1.1; renew 4 2004/8/13 01:18:10; rebind 6 2004/8/14 04:18:10; expire 6 2004/8/14 13:18:10; } ------------------------------------------------------------------ (2) When using my other debian linux box (172.16.1.10) as dhcp server the network autoconfiguration with dhcp works just fine with the /var/lib/dhclient.leases reading: ------------------------------------------------------------------ lease { interface "eth0"; fixed-address 172.16.1.2; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option routers 172.16.1.1; option domain-name-servers 217.237.151.97,194.25.2.129; option domain-name "home"; option dhcp-lease-time 600; option dhcp-message-type 5; option dhcp-server-identifier 172.16.1.10; renew 4 2004/8/11 13:28:54; rebind 6 2004/8/11 13:32:39; expire 6 2004/8/11 13:33:54; } ------------------------------------------------------------------ Why does the lease from (1) not work? Why is the resolv.conf not written? Best regards, Paul --- Paul Boege Munich - Germany -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
