Craig Said:
You need to edit the settings for the eth1 so that it is NOT controlled
by Network Manager and it IS started up when the computer starts.
Craig,
That may be true, but the DHCP is failing before the computer finishes
booting, it succeeds after logging in when NM is fully in operation. Also,
the goal here is to normally run headless with no one logging in. Except
for the DHCP server that all seems to be working. I may have tio try that
but since everyone points at different solutions, I am being cautious about
moving forward.

Actually, if you turn off the windows-ish quiet boot even leaving the silly
splash screen on, you will see that the network elements are initialized (to
some degree) long before the user is able to log in. And lets distinguish
between the NM applet which is ONLY used after there is a GUI to work in and
the software that actually manages the interfaces.
I am sorry, that sounds like I think I know what I am doing here when
actually I am poking and praying. But this part at least I KNOW that some
of it is done before a user is even allowed to log in.

Good find. Thanks. The problem I first see is that that user moved his
DHCP server to S99 but there are services starting before that that might
then not be able to run so he may have caused his own continued failure. I
really do not know.

and it works.
