I often see similar behavior on my i386 system with a bge. Clearly not an amd64 only issue. I am a bit curious as to how you ping it before it gets an address and from where you ping it. I get similar results from killing the dhcpclient and starting it again. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
