OK, I'm stumped.
Background:
1) I have a cable modem from MediaOne. Works great.
2) I have a redHat 5.2 system, kernel 2.2.1, dhcpcd-1.3.16.
Here's the problem: I can connect to my ISP with a "dhcpcd eth0".
It works. Sometimes. I drop the connection with "dhcpcd -k".
That works. The problem is that the only way I can get the
"dhcpcd eth0" to work is if I do a "dhcpcd -k" IMMEDIATELY beforehand.
When I say immediately, I'm not kidding. If I wait a second or two
between the "dhcpcd -k", and the "dhcpcd eth0", it won't work.
If I do wait, the "dhcpcd eth0" will say it worked, but "ping", etc,
will fail. If this happens, I have to do a "dhcpcd -k", and, within
a second or two, follow it with a "dhcpcd eth0". Then it works.
My questions: Anyone ever see this behavior before?
Anyone know who I should contact?
Anyone know what the hell is causing this?
Thanks,
Bryan
