Apologies - I needed to give more info...

The box was originally set up with EXTIF = eth0. Runnix DHCP failed with
this, though eth0 was connected to a DHCP-enabled LAN, so it should have
obtained a lease. I then changed EXTIF to eth1 and moved the cable to that
port, just to rule out hardware failure of the Soekris eth0. I would
therefore expect the Runnix DHCP request to fail now, as it obviously does.

Apologies - it is not. I only mentioned it because the Runnix DHCP request
failed. The box is set up with a static IP address for EXTIF.

Hence, this is the set up as it is, and which is failing.

Apologies for the lack of clarity, and thanks for the help - any other
ideas?

Thanks

Tom
