Yesterday, I did a fresh install of centos 4.4 / “minimal install”
I keep getting a false/wrong ip address from dhcp.
When I set a fixed IP it still does not work, I can not make use of the Internet.
If I connect to the internet running Windows everything works fine, so it is not a network issue I think. I tried several solutions (from reading forum posts etc..) but nothing seems to help. Could somebody point me in the good direction ?
This is what happens:

[root@ANACONDA ~]# dhclient eth0
