 Posted: Tue Nov 26, 2002 8:32 pm Post subject: dhcpcd partly doesn't work |
 |
|
hello,
i have a small @home network with a dhcp server. on my desktop pc i run gentoo, debian and windows xp. my problem is, that dhcp does't really work with gentoo. there is no problem with debian or windwos xp. i always get an ip from the server but when i boot gentoo, i dont always get an ip. i get an ip in gentoo after a reboot (from gentoo) or after i had started debian or windows. when i switch off my computer for a certain time (i think it's ~1800s but i'm not sure) and reboot gentoo after that, i don't get a response from my server which means it has maybe somethings to do with the leasetime. it looks like gentoo (or dhcpcd) isn't sending a request to the server because i don't see it in the server's logfile. if my gentoo is up and i run | Code: | | echo "/etc/init.d/net-eth0"; |
i immeadiatly get a response from the server. the problem is solved, when i remove /etc/dhcp/dhcpcd-eth0.cache befor shutting down (thats not what i want). i tried the option and i tried also to replace the shutdown sequence with | Code: | | echo "kill `pidof dhcpcd`"; |
nothing works. i'm not a dhcp export (i haven't had any problems so far) so i don't have any idea where to look.
my dhcpcd version is: | Code: | | echo "DHCP Client Daemon v.1.3.22-pl3"; |
. (befor that i had installed the older version which had the same behaviour)
i appreciate any tips or hints. thanks in advance
michael

Sounds like dhcpcd is loading before your network card is fully functional. Try delaying the start of dhcpcd, or increasing the timeout ('-t 120')

that didnt help. i compiled my network card directly into the kernel (nec chip -> tulip driver) and it works. whenever dhcpcd starts after a reboot or manually, it works, it just doens't work after i had switched off my computer for ~1/2 h. could it be some server settings? |
