dhcpcd

afruscione · 10-25-2001, 08:39 PM

I have a Linksys wireless router, am running redhat 7.2 with kernel 2.4.9 and using an orinoco wireless card.

I have /sbin/dhcpcd installed and the card is recognized, but I keep getting:

Oct 25 22:24:42 localhost dhcpcd[1296]: timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response

Any idea what I should check?
Thanks,
Antonella

just a thought but with my cable modem (which uses dhcpcd to get an ip address from my isp) dhcpcd needs an arguement to send a hostname out to the server.

i need to do

Code:

dhcpcd -h <my login name>

I don't know if this is even vaguely connected to your problem but ne'ermind

You could try port scanning your router to make sure that the DHCP server really is running...

it works on my pc

ifconfig eth1 up
iwconfig eth1 essid "THE WIRELESS ESSID NAME" key "WEPKEY"
dhcpcd-bin -d eth1

its up to your interface if eth0, wlan0, or eth1 change the above "eth1"
