You can try issuing "ifconfig eth0 up" to make sure that the interface |
| 17 |
is up and then run "dhcpcd -d eth0". |

Without knowing you network topology there's not much more help I can |

be. |

You may not be connecting b/c the card isn't correctly auto-negotiating |
| 23 |
with the switch/hub it's plugged into. Maybe you DHCP server has |
| 24 |
tresholds or does expect a hostname or MAC address. Maybe the network |
| 25 |
card is bad. Try swapping it with one of the working ones. |

I'll make a note on the Wiki to update the script (unless Dan or Achim |

beat me to it). |

I don't think it'll help. Right now we need to figure out what's hosing |
| 42 |
your network. |
