Wireless DHCP configuration
Hi all...
Here's another wireless question for you...
I go to 'applications->system settings -> network' to configure my integrated wireless card. I click 'new' and go through the whole process, making sure that the radio button for obtaining ip configuration through dhcp is selected, and get all the wireless info in correctly and click ok. At this point, i click 'activate' and this is the message i get back:
Determining IP information for eth1:2...
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
failed.
I then thought there might be something messed up with the information i put into it for the dns server, or dhcp server, so i highlited the proper one and clicked 'edit'. I noticed that the radio button and all the corresponding fields for "automatically obtain ip settings with 'dhcp''' has been greyed out and the one for setting a static IP is selected. I can fill in everything and get it to work with a static IP, but in no way will it let me select the dhcp option. It appears to making the 'static IP' option be my only choice.
I have no idea what's going on. If anyone can provide any insight into what might be causing this, and how I can go about fixing it. I don't know if I have to change a .conf file or what, but i'm getting frustrated. Thanks a lot for all your help!
