Hi, I've got a quite annoying problem here... I'm connected to the internet via a dhcp server... This works fine, using dhclient, except for one case: When I reboot from windows into linux, it fails to get IP information... I'm quite sure about the theoretical explanation: Windows does not release the ip address, so when dhclient is trying to get eth0 up with a DHCP discover request, the dhcp server notices that an IP is already bound to this MAC address, and therefore doesn't reply... dhcpcd handled this problem correctly. I don't know how, but I think it just released the ip address itself... Is there a way to make dhclient do the same thing? I have to ask this because I noticed that dhcpcd has been removed from (null) Thanks Hans
