You say the problem may come from the dhcp client. Is this the client on
Mandrkae Security that get's it's IP address from my ISP? Because, I am not
using DHCP on my internal network. If it is the client on Mandrake Security
it is strange that it worked in RC1 but not in RC2. Oh well, I'll try SNF
and see if maybe there is a change. Thank you for your help.

Hi again,
ok, the problem may come from your dhcp client. You could try one of the
following:
dhcpcd, pump, dhcpxd, dhcp-client. Uninstall the useless ones or configure
to use the one you like.
cheers,
