Hi
4 days ago my Redhat 7.3 linux server stop getting dynamic ip from comcast high speed internet. Prior to that i had no problems getting ip from comcast dhcp servers.
When my linux server is loading, when it gets to waits a while on eth0 and later gives "timeout waiting for dhcp"

Can anyone tell me whats going on? Or is anyone have a similar problem.?

Regards
Patrick

Sounds like it may be a problem on your isp's end, have you tried getting a hold of them? That is assuming you haven't messed with any settings. Linux doesn't spontaneously stop working properly, it always requires help from a human to do that....
