Weird router problem (release every time)

[mootjes]

Hey,
I've got a "fbr-1405tx level one" broadband router, and when I want to connect to the internet, I always have to release my IP-adress.


STEP 1:
root@kubuntu-desktop:/home/kubuntu# ifconfig
eth0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:40:F4:1D:E0:6A
inet Adresse:192.168.0.3 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Maske:255.255.255.0
inet6 Adresse: fe80::240:f4ff:fe1d:e06a/64 Gültigkeitsbereich:Verbindu ng

Interrupt:10 Basisadresse:0x8000

lo Protokoll:Lokale Schleife
inet Adresse:127.0.0.1 Maske:255.0.0.0
inet6 Adresse: ::1/128 Gültigkeitsbereich:Maschine
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:3 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
Kollisionen:0 Sendewarteschlangenlänge:0
RX bytes:172 (172.0 b) TX bytes:172 (172.0 b)

Ping does not respond.

STEP 2:
I release and renew the IP-adress from the router

--> Internet works now.

Does anyone has a clue what could be happening here? Really seams to be a weird problem.

TIA!!

Hi,

I've seen that sometimes I need to do it also on one of my computer, but I didn't got why yet... I will check more, If someone has an answer, it's welcome ;)

Weird thing is that it seems to work with PCLinuxOS. Maybe rpm-based problem? :S

This is just a guess. It may be that your system is set up to call the router before the system is ready to accept the dhcp lease. A slightly different ordering of the init scripts in the two distros would explain the difference in behavior. You could look at /etc/rcS.d and /etc/rc2.d in kubuntu vs. wherever the boot and run level scripts are kept in PCLos.

Although if that were the case, why would it show an inet address in ifconfig? I'd do the comparison anyway.

I guess that makes a lot of sense. I'll analyse it after the exams ;)

Thanks!
