Thanks! - I tried this once before - and tried it once again -> no result :( Here once again the output of dhclient: | # /sbin/dhclient | Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.1 | Copyright 2004 Internet Systems Consortium. | All rights reserved. | For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/products/DHCP | | Listening on LPF/eth0/00:30:54:00:76:2c | Sending on LPF/eth0/00:30:54:00:76:2c | Sending on Socket/fallback | DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6 | DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6 | DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 13 | DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 | DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 | DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 | DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11 | DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 2 | No DHCPOFFERS received. | No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. There seems to be an initialization file for dhclient - do you know what kind of information I would have to supply? Are there other sources / Informations dhclient needs in order to do its job? I bought "LINUX Network Administrator's guide" from O'Reilly and spend a day reading - but I seem to be unable to find any solution myself. ...Already my 3-days-weekend I wanted to spend somewhere in the mountains went by starring at the screen :( How about switching to some other Linux edition, Suse, Mandrake, Debian, ... Do you think this could be a solution ? Sorry for complaining :( But sometimes I really don't like computers!
