Folks -
I recently got Time Warner Road Runner installed. It seems to be a straight
forward dhcp install but I'm having a problem getting dh-client running. I've
manageed to make it work with the same box running NT, as well as an old
Macintosh I have, so I'm pretty sure it's my dhcp setup that's causing the
problem (currently it runs pppoe/dsl just fine)
I've been through the man pages and the dhcpcd how-to and I think I've covered
the basics, but when I run dhclient (or dhclient eth1) I get no connectivity,
no messages, nothing. I'm currently at a loss as to where to look.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm quite frustrated at this point
in time trying doing something that should be so simple I'm sure I've been hit
with the stupid stick.
Thanks.

here's my /etc/network/interfaces file:

My dhclient.conf file is blank.
I had a few problems with IPMASQ so I've been disabling it during initial
setup with /etc/init.d/ipmasq stop. ipchains -L returns:
Chain input (policy ACCEPT):
Chain forward (policy DENY):
Chain output (policy ACCEPT):
