Hi all,
My desktop is connected to my Singtel MIO Router/ADSL Modem via wired ethernet.
With Ubuntu 8.10 (i386), it worked fine.
However, i just installed Jaunty RC (AMD64), and i couldn't get an address via
DHCP. So it seems. Ethernet and DHCP is supposed to be pretty agnostic, so i
don't see why a different version or different arch would give problems. So it
could be problem interfacing with the Ethernet card itself? However... doing an
ifconfig, i can see that eth0 gets detected, and its HWaddr (MAC) is correct.
But, of course, there is no inet addr.
i also tried using the i386 version, also of Jaunty RC, and there is NO such
problem. (More indication of hardware driver issue?)
(i checked and compared the settings using the NetworkManager Applet - across
the AMD64 and i386 runs, and they looked exactly the same).
i apologise for the vagueness in the description of the problem. Would
appreciate advice on how i can further diagnose this problem, please.
Thanks and Regards,
Edwin
