no ip address asigned auto dhcp upgrade 7.04

Asked by Juan Pablo S

I've recently updated ubuntu 6.10 to 7.04, I have a small office server for files and internet sharing, eth0 is connected to the internet provider and eth1 is connected to the local network, after the update eth0 is not able to get the ip address automatically, therefore internet doesn't work. The only way I am able to connect is by running sudo dhclient eth0 and then if I run ifconfig the ip address is shown and the internet works again.
here's the result of ifconfig after running the dhclient eth0 command

Could it be that you have more than one dhclient process running ?

Revision history for this message
Juan Pablo S (juan2email-sub2) said : 		#7

the system monitor shows

dhclient sleeping 7839
dhclient sleeping 7820
dhclient3 sleeping 7292

thanks,

This might be the problem... The different clients override each other all the time.

Make sure you kill all of them and then restart the network with

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

I hope this helps

restarting the network works fine, but when I reboot the system theres no ip assigned again, have to restart it manually, here's the log file from this afternoon. could there be a problem with the dates as I read in some posts, at the end of the log the date changes from apr25 to apr16.
thanks,

Do you have again multiple dhclient processes running?

Revision history for this message
Ralph Janke (txwikinger) said : 		#11

Could you please also run this command

dpkg-query -l 'dhcp*'

and let is see the output that we can see which dhcp package is installed.

Thanks

You probably don't want to have a dhcp server running... then you have 2 contradicting servers.

My computer shows the following output:

ii dhcp3-client 3.0.4-12ubuntu4 DHCP Client
ii dhcp3-common 3.0.4-12ubuntu4 Common files used by all the dhcp3* packages

I would think that this is all you need, since I am using dhcp and it is working.

I need to have the dchp server for the office LAN running on eth1, as the server works as a file server using samba.
thanks

Ah ...that ok then. So is everything working now? Or is there still a problem?

If I restart the server theres no ip asigned on eth0, I have to manually run /etc/init.d/networking restart, in order for the internet to work on the server and on the LAN.
Could there be like a temporary fix where "/etc/init.d/networking restart" is run at startup?

thanks,

Could you try to isolate the messages in daemon.log and maybe as well from messages.log vor the time of the boot and the time of the network restart and show them here (not the whole thing, just the time around the start of the network).

Thanks

Try removing dhcpcd package it is likely to conflict with dhcp3-client package.

You may have a Netwok Manager interfering with your interfaces, please remove it and report if it helps.

apt-get --purge remove network-manager

You may also explicitly remove dhcdbd package - it is pulled in by network-manager.

You can add --auto-remove to apt-get to remove all the dependencies of network-manager. However you should examine carefully what is going to be removed.
