------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-25 03:51 ------- I tried again with today's cooker. This time, I monitored network traffic using Ethereal (running on a Mandrake computer). The bug is still there -- fails to communicate with DHCP server. I see 4 packets being sent out by the computer I'm attempting to install Mandrake on -- each packet seperated by about 2-11 seconds. The packets are all of the same type. Here's what Ethereal shows about them: Protocol: DHCP Info: DHCP Discover - Transaction ID 0xea4dec6e 618 bytes Ethernet II, Src: <whatever> Dst: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Internet Protocol, Src Addr 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) Dst Addr. 255.255.255.255 (255.255.255.255) User Datagram Protocol, Src Port: bootpc (68), Dst Port: bootps (67) Bootstrap Protocol No response is made to any of these packets. And yet, I know that DHCP works fine on my network. If I get time, I'll try analyzing what happens with a successful DHCP connection, to see what's different. Maybe the bootpc protocol is not supported on my network ...? (I'm probably just advertising my almost-total ignorance about DHCP...) ------- 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: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: (I don't actually know what installer version it is -- it's today's cooker) I installed today's cooker with a network install: I copied images/network.img to a floppy, and booted from it, etc. I attempted to use DHCP mode. However, this didn't work (even though my DHCP server is working fine). My workaround was to assign myself a static IP.
