[Solved] DHCP Time Out
Hello,
Since yesterday, I have important trouble with my network card.
My only network card does not get IP address automatically through DHCP. Thus I have tested to launch dhcpcd manually however I just get a time out. I have tried to set fix IP address but ping does not work.
My network cable seems to work as I can use it on another computer without problem.
The only cause I can see is an hardware error with my network card (which is integrated in my mother board).
mii-tool which can give information on the netword card just tell me that there is no MII transceiver and I don't know how to check that the problem is really with my network car.
An idea ?
Thanks.

Re: [Solved] DHCP Time Out
A number of people seem to get such errors after the last kernel update with wireless cards, eg intel. If you just updated thekernel of your system before the errors started, that is one possibility.

Re: [Solved] DHCP Time Out
As Strike0 mentioned. The kernel upgrade to 3.1.5-1 seems to have broken a few intel wireless drivers. A lot of onboard cards are from Intel. So if you have recently updated your system, you may face this problem.
Downgrading to 3.1.4-1 did the trick for me.

Re: [Solved] DHCP Time Out
Hello,
It working now and I still don't know what was the problem.
To my mind it was a problem with network cable however I tried with two different cables which both worked with another computer. Finally, I had to move my computer and I used a third Ethernet cable and now it is working without any change on the system.
Computer can be so weird sometimes.
