Hi,
currently I have installed only following files:
[root@mumpel 2]# rpm -qa |grep dhcp
dhcp-client-3.0b2pl9-2mdk
[root@mumpel 2]# rpm -qa |grep pump
pump-0.8.2-1mdk
pump-devel-0.8.2-1mdk
with the result that ifup tr0
use as default pump to get the IP and it works.
without installed pump the result is the dhclient get the IP and after this silence.
Now I installed additional dhcpcd, result:
[root@mumpel /root]# ifup tr0
Determining IP information for tr0 via dhcpcd... failed.
Nothing else.
It's very confusing to me that there are so much different different dhcp-related
rpm-packages,
all other distributions (e.g. SuSE or RedHat ) have not more as 3 rpm's which are
working after
a default installation - not in Mandrake.
What rpm's do I have to install in Mandrake, how can I specify which client should be
take as default ?
I have some add. infos here - maybe this will help to find the problem:
I have another system running RedHat 7.0 and SuSE 7.0 in the same network also with
tr0.
RedHat also works only if pump is installed, the plain dhclient don't works, this
means same
problem like in Mandrake.
SuSE has only installed the dhclient (dhclient-2.0pl3-3) , no pump binary installed
and it
works well without any additional config-work.
cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases
lease {
interface "tr0";
fixed-address 9.165.172.28;
option subnet-mask 255.255.240.0;
option routers 9.165.160.1;
option domain-name-servers 9.165.160.2,9.165.160.3,9.165.1.20;
option host-name "dhcp1-29";
option domain-name "berlin.de.ibm.com";
option dhcp-lease-time 3600;
option dhcp-message-type 5;
option dhcp-server-identifier 9.165.160.2;
renew 1 2000/10/23 13:51:58;
rebind 1 2000/10/23 14:14:28;
expire 1 2000/10/23 14:21:58;
}
Should this tell us that all RedHat-based distributions (inc. Mandrake) have a
problem in the
netconfig (or dhcp-client config) ?
