After sinking my local Cooker mirror at about 10:00 PM EST, I tried to install via NFS
and am finding that that dhcp does not work for either my on-board VIA VT6102 Rhine-II
(via-rhine) or pci 3com (3c905c) nics. Both of these adapters work in various other
distros and Windows. I am using the new Cooker install kernel 2.4.21pre4-1.
DHCP server is a Netgear RP114 4-port router that is working for 2 other Mandrake 9.0
and 2 Windows machines.
It appears in the console that both cards are having their kernel modules loaded
successfully, yet I get an error returned after a 30 second or so delay that says "No
DHCP reply received"

description:
I did an expert install of Mandrake-Linux 9.0 beta3 after downloading the
iso's, verifying the md5sums, and burning them on 700MB CD-RW's.
When the system tries to bring up eth0 on bootup, it complains that it can't
find the information for it and asks me to check that the link, cable, etc. are
OK. I have a computer running OpenBSD as a firewall between my ISP and my
internal network. My internal network is 192.168.0.X. OpenBSD is running a
DHCP server and has worked properly in the past with other Linux distros (LM
9.0beta2 as of yesterday). If I then manually configure the NIC to a static
IP, manually fill in the DNS nameservers of my IP provider, add the default
route to my firewall which is the gateway, networking works to the extent that
I am able to run Konqueror and browse the internet. I haven't tried anything
else (e.g. samba). As I say, four days before, I had installed LM beta2 and
this functionality worked fine.
