The dhcp-client program fails to request an IP address from the DHCP server running isc-dhcp3-server. With a Windows based DHCP server, it succeeds more often, but seems to fail perhaps 1 out of 10 times. I thought it could the NIC itself, but when booting under Windows, there doesn't to be any problems with the Windows DHCP client requesting an IP address from either the Windows DHCP server or ISC-DHCP server. Is anyone else seeing this? Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Beer. Now there's a temporary solution." - Homer Simpson
