1 Hi all,
2 I have the situation where I work that it is a total M$ setup. Our
3 workstations use DHCP to grab IP addresses from the Win2003 server. For
4 various reasons I want to place a Gentoo box on the network. For some
5 reason when I try to bring up the network interface on the Gentoo box,
6 which has a dhcp client, the dhcp client times out and I can't obviously
7 get an IP address.

9 Does anyone know of any gotcha's or traps for young players when trying
10 to get IP addresses from a Win2003 server from the Linux world?

12 Any thoughts grealy appreciated,
13 Andrew
