Hi Robert, What is the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces?
I had the following: allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp Which caused this to happen. This is on a Debian system, but I'd be surprised if it's not the same issue. My "fix" was simply to remove these lines and let network-manager handle the interface. I would have expected ifupdown (guessing that's responsible) to be able to do cable sensing and not just keep trying. -- dhclient continually seeks ip address on unconnected interface https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190359 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dhcp3 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
