hi all, I have a machine with RH 7.2 with linux 2.4.17 kernel. I tried it to allocate the ipaddr using dhcpcd client . When I did this, it got an ip address dynamically allocated by the dhcp server. Now i stopped the dhcpcd client and restarted the network using the init script provided by default.But it is not assigning the old address which i have given in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. I removed the dhcp cache files in /etc/dhcpc and tried again but with the same effect.
Then I tried searching the files which might have had these dynamically allocated ipaddr, but i could not find any. At the last resort i tried to flush the ip with ip command (# ip addr flush dev eth0) and restart the network. Now it took the statically given ip from the file. Can anyone explain why this happens. I have enabled advanced routing in the kernel, will it give this type of problem. BTW how to start dhcpcd client during boot time (other than rc.local). Is there any proper way to do this. with regards -logu _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
