I have a desktop and server machine connected via wired ethernet to a residential router. The desktop (Jaunty) would lose it's connection on a regular basis. I solved the problem by installing WICD and have now upgraded to Karmic and am still using WICD.
The Jaunty/Karmic server also loses its connection to the router every few days, with the log filling up with the same "dhclient: dhcprequest" entries posted above. I have restart the router and the server to solve the problem. -- Wired PPPOE Connection in Jaunty drops on DHCPREQUEST https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434049 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
