A motherboard died on me, and I swapped a HD into a new box with identical hardware. Or so I think... I updated my dhcp server to provide a static ip address to the new MAC address of the box.

Everything seems to work right, but now when I boot, eth0 does not come up cleanly.

When I manually run `/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start` I get this odd message:

dhcp: Host name lookup failure

If I type "dhcpcd", then eth0 comes up fine.

Any ideas on how to get this machine to boot properly again? THANKS!
