The most simple (and perhaps too obvious) explanation would be your DHCP server is not configured to respond to requests from the wired network interace, but responds appropriately to requests from the wireless network interface. It this used to work, perhaps something changed your DHCP server's configuration file (or the location of the configuration file). Check to verify whether the log file on the server host shows receipt of the wireless network request, but no receipt of the wired network request. I use iptables to limit local network activity, and find it useful on occasion to replace my regular rules by a completely permissive configuration to test whether some error or unexpected rule consequence has interfered with my desired network behavior. If a failing application works with the relaxed rules, I know to examine my usual rule set to learn why it prevented delivery of a desired message. >From your description, it does not appear likely to be your problem, but on more than one occasion I found DHCP servers unexpectedly active on two or more of my hosts. This is a wonderful formula for confusion and embarassment: no amount of scrutiny of a correct configuration file will explain incorrect results delivered by a different server. I sometimes want multiple DHCP servers, but configuration to limit them to disjoint sets of clients or networks is more difficult than with only one server. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
