dhcp
DHCP server has died?
Two weeks ago, I wrote that I couldn’t get DHCP to work in Debian. I am convinced by now, that it’s not me, nor Debian, nor my configuration of Debian, it’s just the modem/router.
I tried to connect my laptop, running Windows XP, and I did not get an IP address. Yes, I did check the “Obtain IP address automatically”-checkbox! Can it be any easier than that?
The built-in DHCP server of the SMC 7204BRA router just seems to have died after handing out 2 IP addresses. I cannot think of any other explanation…
DHCP in Debian
Why doesn’t my DHCP client work in Debian?
I’ve got my ADSL connection working alright in Windows, but of course I want to get it to work with Debian also (dual boot on the same machine).
In Windows I’ve checked the “Obtain IP address automatically” checkbox, and it all works fine. My modem / router hands out the IP address 192.168.1.3. Great! But when I boot Debian, I get no response from the DHCP server whatsoever.
