Hello psyche-list, I have configured a RH 8.0 system as the LAN's DHCP server. For my notebook computer, I have configured an entry in the server's configuration to recognize the notebook's Ethernet hardware address and always assign a particular IP address to it.When I boot under Win2K Pro, this works just fine. However, when I boot into RH 8.0 on my notebook, the network does not get fully configured. The IP address provided by the DHCP server is used, but there is nothing added to /etc/resolv.conf, so all DNS lookups fail. I did an "ifdown eth0", ran ethereal in capture mode, and did an "ifup eth0". I captured two packets, the DHCP client broadcast query and the response. I'm no DHCP expert, but it looks like the response contains all the information I would expect. (I have attached the short capture file to this message.) The dhclient-eth0.leases file contains the entry: lease { interface "eth0"; fixed-address 192.168.254.100; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option dhcp-lease-time 86400; option dhcp-message-type 5; option domain-name-servers 192.168.254.1; option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.254.1; option broadcast-address 192.168.254.255; option domain-name "off.mydomain.com"; [not the real domain] renew 4 2002/12/12 00:48:35; rebind 4 2002/12/12 12:24:27; expire 4 2002/12/12 15:24:27; } which also seems to have the right info. Any ideas on why it is that /etc/resolv.conf is not getting set up right? Ron.
