I have configured my DELL 2900 with RH40AS and am attempting to get it to go on the network. The DHCP program runs during boot but doesn't seem to be able to find the DHCP server (which has been configured into it.) Once the system is up eth0 which is configured for a cross connect with a fixed IP, comes up, eth1 configured for the public network doesn't. I have swapped them arround with the same results. I have tried different routers, different cables, manual IP assignment, all was no go.

 

I have disabled iptables and the built-in firewall.

 

Any ideas out there?

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Mike
