Hi all, I've got a woody (stable) installation with the 2.2.20 kernel on a Dell Latitude CPi. I have a 3Com 3CXFE575B 10/100 card in the top slot. Debian recognizes the card, and attaches it to eth0. However, I'm seeing odd behavior when I try to use dhclient to get an IP address from my D-Link 701 firewall (which my Windows XP box happily gets an address from). When I do a 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' (or daemon.log, for that matter), I see the following (all from dhclient-2.2.x): DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5 DHCPOFFER from 192.168.1.254 (note: this IS the DI-701) DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPNAK from 192.168.1.254 DHCPNAK with no active lease
...then it repeats the request and the NAK. I found the RFC for DHCP, and a diagram of the process (http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/2131/29.htm), which indicates that the client is waiting for a DHCPACK signal before it will bind to an offered address. What I don't understand is why it's never receiving one. Anyone have a clue? Should I post this to another list?
