Description Forgotten User WEjcDIABp3 2008-11-30 15:18:26 UTC 
Hello,
after a fresh install I had no network connectivity.
Selecting the "Auto eth0" from the network manager would just fail to connect but without providing any hint on the problem.

I have tried to force a DHCP request with:
dhclient eth0
I got the following error:
Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.1
Copyright 2004-2008 Internet Systems Consortium.
All rights reserved.
For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/sw/dhcp/

/etc/dhclient.conf line 28: no option named network-number in space dhcp
request subnet-mask, network-number,
                     ^
/etc/dhclient.conf line 33: ntp-servers: expected option name.
	netbios-node-type, netbios-scope, ntp-servers;
And then the DHCP offer was rejected with:
DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
DHCPOFFER from 192.168.0.1: no subnet-mask option.

Editing /etc/dhclient.conf and removing the "network-number" option fixed the problem.
This problem was also experienced with the LiveCD .
