 |
|
Hi.
I've got the following problem.
Since today I am getting the following error message
when the system boots.
Error, eth0: timed out
After this I could not connect to the network. If I use a static IP-Address
everything is fine. So I switched to Suse 10.2 and booted the system.
dhcp connect fine. No error Messages.
Does anyone know a solution.
Cu.

Ps.: Before I forgot to tell, I did a emerge -avuND world after this a revdep-rebuild and I
re-emerged dhcpcd too. Nothing helps.

I don't know if your problem is related to mine but since updating to dhcpcd 3.1.5 I had to make the following change to /etc/conf.d/net for it to work as before.
| Code: | # This prevents that funky long ugly ID from showing up and futzing
# up our ip by mac address in the dlink
dhcpcd_eth0="-I ''" |

same problem here - i spend nearly 2 hour on this. above written change in /etc/conf.d/net should work.
dont forget the space dhcpcd_eth0="-I ''" between I and ' !
here some more keywords for searchengines:
"Error, no interface specified"
"Configuration not set for eth0 - assuming DHCP"
dhcpcd
thanks! |

Hi.
This did not work for me. I downgraded to dhcpcd-3.0.16-r1
and it works like before.
It looks like there's something wrong in the new version of dhcpcd-3.1.5

Nothing is wrong with dhcpcd-3.1.5
What is wrong is your dhcp server requiring the MAC address in the optional ClientID option in the DHCP message. What it should be using is the chaddr bit, which is required for DHCP.

The above solution works for me, just this
| Quote: | * Starting eth0
* Configuration not set for eth0 - assuming DHCP
|
as a hint with a yellow star
So there is still something wrong
@UberLord
would be kind of you to explain it in words for dummies(like me  ) |

could you post your /etc/conf.d/net file?
And feel free to remove comments and mask private info.

| Code: | #config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth0="-I ''" |
The router provides a static address, the commented first line worked before the update. |

Interesting......
Try this:
| Code: |
modules=( "dhcpcd" )
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth0="-I ''"
|
then:
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
What happens?

| Is your router a Linux box, or an appliance like Linksys or Dlink? |

And have you configured the DHCP server to hand out address to only specific MAC addresses?

Hi.
This is not possible with my aktive router. In my older one it was possible, but
I can't turn back to the older one.
Is just me and my wifes PC in the network, and wireless lan is turned
off anyway.

I have, well not "Only", one for my test server and my workstation so they always get the same IP (much easier than static assignments in each box), my son's machine and my craptop are plain ole dhcp. 
Works dandy.
