In my case, it was completely impossible to get a DHCP lease - not even the first (and only) terminal. The context is a large network with (I suppose) Windows DHCP servers. It took me a while to get to the solution indicated in the bug report.
Removing -c '' from the script solves the problem. Now I tested -c "LTSP-i386" and found that it works, too. While talking about client ID, I would like to draw your attention to a line above the udhcpc call: clientid_param=${clientid:+"-r $clientid"} What I dislike is the inconsistency that the kernel command-line parameter "clientid" is used for udhcpc parameter "Request IP address". -Kai -- UDHCPC not fetching lease from Windows DHCP server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505916 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
