dhcp w/ comcast not setting default route
After rebooting for the first time in a while, I had some problems getting my network working again. I have a Comcast cable modem, and when bringing up the network connection, dhclient was able to get an ip but it wasn't setting a default route. I've managed to solve this by setting the route manually every time I have to bring the interface back up, but I'd feel better if I found the source of the problem instead of just a workaround.
After bringing up the interface, the following routes were set: Code:
[root@annulus dhcp]# route -n Looking in /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases: Code:
lease { So either this is a bug/config problem with dhclient (searching the dev lists didn't turn anything up) or a config problem with Comcast's dhcp server which causes it to send out the wrong router. Oh, and when I boot into win2k, the network comes up just fine - which means either the problem is with dhclient OR windows automagically works around the problem by trying alternative gw's until it finds one that works ??? :confused: Anybody else have this problem or have any insight? |
