You could try using dhclient. If you happen to have another computer
and a hub laying around you could connect your ISP to the hub, one
computer (your ethereal computer) to the hub, let it get an address,
turn ethereal on. Then connect another machine and use ethereal to
watch the traffic. Or if you had a switch that can do port mirroring or
some such thing.

Subject: renewing dhcp lease early
Is there a way to force the dhcp renewal process early?
I'm having some troubles with my ISP and want to use ethereal to capture
the traffic during the renewal process.
I started ethereal and then did a "service network restart", but that
caused ethereal to choke because it complained that the network stopped.
Specifically I'm trying to capture the traffic where the dhcp client
talks to the dhcp server directly, not the broadcast traffic... the
broadcast method all works, but I'm getting icmp 3/3 (port unreachable)
back from the dhcp server...
Thanks for any tips.
Don
