Does you NIC not support ifplugd? If it does, that is even better, and should work out-the-box. The installer should know which ones don't (may be your case), and in that case will try bring up dhcp anyway. You can check with : # ifstatus -v while you are plugged and, and while you are plugged out, to see if it can tell or not. > The problem is that after the upgrade, this option does not have any > effect anymore (even if dhclient.conf has not been overridden) !!

Am I wrong ? > add in /etc/sysconfig/network: NOZEROCONF="yes" I think you are correct. There could also be test such as "if you are in a Windows network using a domain name ending in .local, you should disbale zeroconf". This would also set tmdns not to run. See these bugs: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2829 http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2265 Note that apparently the default Win2k AD setup is to use the .local tld, and that users should be setting the Win2k dhcp server to do DNS registrations for clients that don't do their own, in which case tmdns and zeroconf are not necessary.
