Hello, I just built a new MDK 7.1 machine to use as a Masq box. Tried it on my DSL modem, and for some reason, DHCP doesn't seem to work. Everything works fine if I manually set the IP address, but I should be able to use DHCP.. I am using DHCP on a MDK 6.1 system with the same DSL modem, so I know the DSL is ok. The only things that might be "strange" about this box are: 1. When I installed Mandrake, I didn't have any ethernet cards. Configured them later. 2. This is not a pentium system, but a Cyrix 586 -120 chip (the super-charged 486 type chip, not their pentium clone). 3. I didn't install very many packages, in an effort to cut down on HD usage. I do however have dhcpcd and dhclient installed. Both of them try, as I see data going out to the modem to attempt to get a dhcp packet, but it never seems to get what it wants. I can send and receive data on the interface (using the same box right now to send this email) when the nic is set for PROTOCOL="none", so I know data is ok. What is going on? Bob
