Question: DHCP not working under RedHat 6.1 using 3c574

Maybe you can help? I'm running a 3Com FE574b ethernet card on a Toshiba Satellite 4100xDVD running a dual-boot NT40 and RedHat 6.1 setup (128MB RAM). The 3com card works fine with DHCP under NT networking at my work. The card also works fine with my DSL under RedHat at home (Thank you Mr.Hinds!!), but for some reason, DHCP does not seem to work on RedHat at my work (at least, according to the RedHat LinuxConf install directions at http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-6.1-Manual/ref-guide/ch-sysconfig.html). Here are some system messages which may be helpful. When I run netcfg in Linux and try to activate the eth0 interface, I get the error: > Determining IP information for eth0...Operation failed. > failed. dmesg messages -------------- Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.9 kernel build: 2.2.14 #1 SMP Sat Feb 5 21:08:10 EST 2000 options: [pci] [cardbus] [apm] Intel PCIC probe: Intel i82365sl B step ISA-to-PCMCIA at port 0x3e0 ofs 0x00, 2 sockets host opts [0]: none host opts [1]: none ISA irqs (scanned) = 4,5,7,10 polling interval = 1000 ms cs: IO port probe 0x1000-0x17ff: clean. cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff: excluding 0x378-0x37f 0x4d0-0x4d7 cs: IO port probe 0x0a00-0x0aff: clean. cs: memory probe 0x0d0000-0x0dffff: clean. 3c574_cs.c v1.08 9/24/98 Donald Becker/David Hinds, becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov. eth0: Megahertz 574B at io 0x300, irq 5, hw_addr 00:50:04:F2:38:E7.

Do I need to set a static route or tweak a parameter? I'm running out of ideas at this point. please help! thanks, scott

I just wanted to add that networking does work if I hard code the IP, default gateway, and DNS info, so it seems that the problem lies with DHCP..I just don't know what! scott
