Network Connection problems.(possibly DHCP not sure)
 

Heya,

Well heres the deal, my PC beside me running Slackware 10.0 wont detect any sort of DHCP server. When I dhclient it says "No broadcast interfaces found - exiting." when I dhclient the interface it says "eth1: not found" and yeah I do have 2 nics, and the onboard nic isnt plugged in.

I know the ip of my dhcp server and im not sure if it matters but in resolv.conf there are no entries, if this is a problem, I know the address of my dns server.

Thanks for any help :)

I don't think this is an issue with the DHCP server as much as configuring your network cards. What does "ifconfig" show?

I have the following

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:07:E9:5F:1D:AD
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets: 0 errors: 0 dropped: 0 overruns: 0 frame: 0
TX packets: 0 errors: 0 dropped: 0 overruns: 0 carrier: 0
collisions: 0 txqueuelen: 1000
RX bytes: 0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt: 10 Base address:0x5000


eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:CB:F4:A7
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets: 1724 errors: 0 dropped: 0 overruns: 0 frame: 0
TX packets: 0 errors: 0 dropped: 0 overruns: 0 carrier: 0
collisions: 0 txqueuelen: 1000
RX bytes: 148811 (145.3 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt: 3 Base address:0xcc00

and the loopback of course.

Sorry for the bump :(
