dhcpcd

["Cook, Justin S." <jcook@k-lug.com>]

Hey,

I'm having a small problem. My school(Winona State) is running their network
with DHCP. Now, I log on to my linux laptop, do a good ole 'dhcpcd -d &' and
eth0 comes up, i'm happy, until i find there is not inet address set. So i
look in the logs and dhcpcd says its timing out waiting for server
replys...i find this odd...so i set the old rfc compliancy flag, and do a
number of other flags, etc...nothing. Network card is good. there's a link,
just no net configs coming in. Under windows I'm set to use dhcp, and it
works fine...i see the ip of my dhcp server, and i have 2 WINS servers set
and all that jazz, but i'm not exactly sure what the problem is, other then
a badly configured dhcp server...any thoughts/ideas/solutions? Thanks.

PS: yes ive used dhcpcd under linux before, and yes it worked then, ive
updated the files, even reinstalled...no good.
