Occasionally, when I reboot my Linux box, I am unable to connect to the Internet via my cable modem during the startup process. As redhat runs through starting up all the services, dhclient can find no DHCPOFFERS, can't get a working lease and I am unable to ping anywhere. Modem appears to be operating fine. Manually invoking /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart usually gets me my connection after I've booted up. Usually. Today that didn't even work and I had to power off and power on to get dhcp to find a lease on the second power up try.
What does this sound like to you? Hardware problem? I made no changes at all to hardware in-between power ups. Or is it a software problem? If it is, how can I diagnose what the problem is next time I'm in that situation and get the dhcp working lease without having to power down and up again? /var/log/messages just tells me what I reported above. Running redhat linux 6.2, kernel 2.2.14 with an Intel NIC. Any help appreciated.
