Hello, I need to use dhcp but it is not working in an new fc6 box. I set "automatically obtain DHCP" and "DNS" in system-config-network gui, save the file, restart the network via gui /usr/sbin/system-config- services, and for good measure stop networking in the network manager applet and then restart it (so that I can check updated dhcp info through it). The network manager applet shows it is returning an ip address, broadcast and subnet mask entries, but not default route, primary dns, or secondary dns. The returned values from the same cable plugged into a fc3 box (using dchp which works) returns quite different information. None of the xxx values in this fc6 log file match the info in the fc3 box although of course being dhcp could have changed [there was a 5 min interval between checks on the two systems] Both are on eth0 devices.
