I was researching the list archives and found the following thread.
I have a similar problem.
When I boot up the livecd, I can see that the system asks for a IP and GET
it from DHCP. It get´s(coincidentally) the IP 192.168.0.11, the one I´ve
selected for the MAC address on the router config.
But, when ASTlinux finishes booting up, the address is lost.
If I try the service network restart, it can not ge any IP address. I get
Sending discover 3 times and then: No lease, forking to background.
The strange part is that it found the address during boot up. The last time
I tried, when I run ifconfig, it showed me the INET ADDR correctly, but I
could not get any real connections to it or from it. (Ping, etc..), so I
tried the service network restart and ended up like described above.
This is odd.
To get even more strange, when I boot up a linux distro I´ve installed on
the HD the system get the IP normally, connects and navigates on the
internet.
Running th LSPCI command, I can see the Ethernet controller identified
correctly. In my case a Davicom Semiconductor, Inc 21X4x DEC-Tulip
compatible 10/100 Ethernet (rev 10)
Thanks for any help,

Mark,
That is very odd. Can you tell me what type of NIC you have? Try this:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0
(replace ip and netmask with proper values for your network)
tcpdump -i eth0 -n -vvv (and in another session)
ping [default gateway ip]
In the tcpdump window, you should be able to see ICMP echo requests
(maybe even replies :) ), arp activity, broadcast activity, etc.
To permanently configure a static IP address, you can set the EXT*
variables in /etc/rc.conf. If
What type of router is this?
