 |
|
Hi !
I have the following network configuration :
<Laptop with pcmcia-wlan>
|
|wireless
|
<wlan-AP> ALL in one subnet 192.168.1.0/24
|
|ethernet (TP)
|
<ethernet-switch> ----TP----- <DHCP-Server>
If I boot Windows (don't hurt me) my laptop get its IP address via the dhcp-server, which is in the ethernet segment; everything works ..
Under linux I can issue the following command with NO success.
> dhcpcd eth1
eth1 is my wlan-card which then blinks until the dhcp timeout reaches.
But instead of dhcp I'm able to initialize it manually with :
> ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.36 up
> route add default gw 192.168.1.2
Why doesn't dhcpcd reaches the dhcp-server, windoof seem to find it.
Any Ideas ? |

/etc/conf.d/net
make sure you have a line like
there is also a line for setting your default gateway, it sounds like you will also want to edit this. Hope this was helpful. |

That file is only used by the net.eth1 init-script. dhcpcd eth1 should work without it. What you might want to try is run dhcpcd and then in another terminal run tcpdump -i eth1. This way you'll be able to see if packages are actually sent out and received. Are you sure you are using the right module for the card? When you've set it manually, can you actually ping the other machines on you network?
