Hi friends, I have a router and a cable modem, some PCs running Windows and Gentoo. All work well except one PC problem on gentoo/router:

Gentoo + cable modem: works

Windows + router + cable modem: works

Gentoo + router + cable modem: obtain IP address but ping failed.


/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart: obtain IP address, but ifconfig doesn't show IP addrsss for eth0:

Subscribing.

thought I had a one-off problem with my virtual machine but it looks like we're having the same problem - for some reason busybox udhcpc does not config the interface properly under some conditions - it grabs the lease but does not configure the interface *sometimes* - it works fine on my real machines but does not work on my virtual machine.

When I get a chance I'll look into this some more, or if someone knows I'd like to know too...
