Hello again, if anybody read my question i want to add that i now after spending a bit of debugging understand that NetworkManager invokes dhclient to get its ip from the dhcpserver.
Here´s the fun part if i start NetworkManager with /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --nodaemon the output looks like this --------------------------------------------------------------------- DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 DHCPOFFER from XXXXXXXX DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from XXXXXXXX NetworkManager: <info> DHCP: device eth0 state changed preinit -> bound NetworkManager: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 4 of 5 (IP Configure Get) scheduled... NetworkManager: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 4 of 5 (IP Configure Get) started... NetworkManager: <info> address XXXXXXXX NetworkManager: <info> prefix 16 (255.255.0.0) NetworkManager: <info> gateway XXXXXXXX NetworkManager: <info> nameserver 'XXXXXXXX' NetworkManager: <info> nameserver 'XXXXXXXX' NetworkManager: <info> domain name 'bar.com' NetworkManager: <info> domain search 'foo.bar.com.' NetworkManager: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 5 of 5 (IP Configure Commit) scheduled... NetworkManager: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 4 of 5 (IP Configure Get) complete. NetworkManager: <info> Activation (eth0) Stage 5 of 5 (IP Configure Commit) started... bound to XXXXXXXX -- renewal in 128268 seconds. Unable to add forward map from mycomputer.foo.bar.com. to XXXXXXXX: connection refused ---------------------------------------------------------------------- However, if u run /sbin/dhclient eth0 -v -d i get this, ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from XXXXXXXX bound to XXXXXXXX -- renewal in 106034 seconds. Added new forward map from mycomputer.foo.bar.com. to XXXXXXXX ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Which is a proof of that it works with dhclient invoked from the commandline, but not from NetworkManager. I found a file under /var/run/ called nm-dhclient-eth0.conf that looks like my /etc/dhclient.conf except NetworkManager added one line, send host-name "mycomputer.foo.bar.com";. However I'm sure of that is not causing the problem, because if i try with adding that line in my /etc/dhcilent-eth0.conf and then run dhlient from the commandline, i still get the result "Added new forward map from mycomputer.foo.bar.com. to XXXXXXXX. " I'm running Fedora 9 if that's any help. Any kind of suggestions or advice are appreciated.
