Something like dhclient -d -s 192.168.1.100 This should force it to stay in the foreground and you can see what is happening. I forget where dhclient logs. I think /var/log/messages...but if you've been muckin' around a lot you may have to grep for the dhclient entries. -- ethericalzen@xxxxxxxxx Life is a prison, death is a release I'm making some progress - It looks like dhclient cannot reply to the server while running in -s mode due to the lack of a gateway being configured. I ran dhclient as you suggested - there was no output, but while it hung, I issued a 'route add default dev eth0' in another terminal and boom, it worked. Somewhere in the back of my leaky brain I seem to remember a bug report citing something similar. Bugzilla is my next stop if I can't figure out how to coax dhclient into setting a gateway. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
