I'm moving to a DHCP arrangement for my home network. I've set up the DHCP server, and it responds appropriately to requests from two of the three other computers on the network (one debian, one WinXP). From the other debian computer on the network, it responds if I manually do:
pump -i eth0 but on startup it doesn't obtain an address. Therfore, of course, services depending on the address (openAFS, NFS mounts) don't start either. Here's /etc/network/interfaces: --- # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation # (network, broadcast and gateway are optional) auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp --- and here's some more diagnostic information: joehill:/var/log# /etc/init.d/openafs-client start ping: unknown host isis.unc.edu joehill:/var/log# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:ED:46:5A:E4 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:152 (152.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:11 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1648 (1.6 KiB) TX bytes:1648 (1.6 KiB) joehill:/var/log# pump -i eth0 joehill:/var/log# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:ED:46:5A:E4 inet addr:192.168.0.14 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:1181 (1.1 KiB) TX bytes:1522 (1.4 KiB) Interrupt:11 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1648 (1.6 KiB) TX bytes:1648 (1.6 KiB) joehill:/var/log# /etc/init.d/openafs-client start PING isis.unc.edu (152.2.1.99): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 152.2.1.99: icmp_seq=0 ttl=240 time=24.4 ms 64 bytes from 152.2.1.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=240 time=23.5 ms --- isis.unc.edu ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 23.5/23.9/24.4 ms Starting AFS services: afsd: All AFS daemons started. afsd. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
