I'm running gentoo on my dual boot windows laptop. I use dhcp to connect to the the internet through cable modem. Sometimes (in the evenings) it just fails to automatically obtain IP address from dhcp server (timeouts). I tried different settings in /etc/conf.d/net file (timeout and different dhcpc options) and switching between dhclient and dhcpd, but with no luck.
When I reboot to windows it just works. I contacted my ISP, but they said they don't give support for Linux. Is there a way to configure dhcp/dhclient to behave exactly like DHCP in Windows XP? Regards, Marko -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
