Now DHCPDISCOVER try to reconnect only 5 times:

dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 20
dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11
dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11

..and then:

dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.
dhclient: No working leases in persistent database.
dhclient: Exiting.


So how can I increase DHCPDISCOVER times to 9999 for example?

check the /etc/dhclient.conf file, is there a setting in this file for it?

i can`t find this option in dhclient.conf:

#send host-name "andare.fugue.com";
#send dhcp-client-identifier 1:0:a0:24:ab:fb:9c;
#send dhcp-lease-time 3600;
#supersede domain-name "fugue.com home.vix.com";
#prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
#request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
# domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
#require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
#timeout 60;
#retry 60;
#reboot 10;
#select-timeout 5;
#initial-interval 2;
#script "/etc/dhclient-script";
#media "-link0 -link1 -link2", "link0 link1";
#reject 192.33.137.209;

#alias {
# interface "eth0";
# fixed-address 192.5.5.213;
# option subnet-mask 255.255.255.255;
#}

#lease {
# interface "eth0";
# fixed-address 192.33.137.200;
# medium "link0 link1";
# option host-name "andare.swiftmedia.com";
# option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
# option broadcast-address 192.33.137.255;
# option routers 192.33.137.250;
# option domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
# renew 2 2000/1/12 00:00:01;
# rebind 2 2000/1/12 00:00:01;
# expire 2 2000/1/12 00:00:01;
#}

Are you getting any DHCP offers ?

Hello go_joe,

From the messages, one can find out that no DHCPOFFER packets are sent from the DHCP server. The client is sending out DHCPDISCOVER packets, but the server is not responding fine. Have you configured the server correctly? Try configuring the server properly and check again.

To edit the timeout you can use the directive 'timeout' in '/etc/dhclient.conf' file. The default timeout is 60 seconds.
Hope you got the answer....

Contact in case of any need...

Thanks...
