------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-11-06 14:21 ------- My recollection from a June 1 cooker (the last I've been able to build - see bug 4039) is that the problem is still there. Basically, MDK is configuring a DHCP lan by default, which doesn't work if the system is static IP, and then 1) Saying in the Summary that the network has been configured, and 2) Warning the installer not to mess with it. MDK ought to be checking to see if the default DHCP configuration actually works. If it does, then the Summary is fine as is. If it doesn't, then the Summary should mark the network as "not Configured" so the user realizes that he has to do it himself. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: ASSIGNED creation_date: description: Today's cooker seems to be deciding that it needs the network before it's been configured from the Network tab of the Summary page. It assumes DHCP, and installs dhcpcd-client, and then appears to hang. The hang is because it is timing out looking for a DHCP server, and there is none. The hang eventually times out, but when I actually get the Summary dialog and go to configure the network, it tells me that the network was already configured and I can leave it as is. It doesn't seem to realize that it never managed to connect with DHCP, and it shouldn't be trying it anyway.
