Emerge updated dhcp and now I can't get online [Solved]

[timpalpant]

Just reverted to dhcp-3.0.6 and it works perfectly now. Looks like it's an issue with net-misc/dhcp-3.1.0, I suggest you mask it and I'm going to file a bug.

Good stuff will do.

Keep up the good work.

Great work. That worked perfectly for me.

Examining my emerge.log, it looks like I was previously running dhcp-3.1.0_rc2 quite happily, and that the bug was introduced when it went to dhcp-3.1.0 after I synced emerge on July 20. Might want to note that in your bug report.

Thanks for your help everyone. It's great when a forum works as well as this.

3.0.3 here in 1.0 BE that caused it. Using 3.0.6 now to see if it will be better.

Okay, that may be all fine and dandy for those who can revert to an older version still on their PC.

How exactly do you manage to achieve that when you just installed Sabayon from the Live DVD?

livedvd should have older version, not effected

otherwise run net-setup

Sorry, the LiveDVD is affected as well. I figured out how to use net-setup, but both the old LiveDVD version and the newest one are affected.

Though I somehow managed to get the system to use DHCP directly after emerging to the newest version. After a reboot, this doesn't work anymore, sadly enough.

edit: I did downgrade to version 3.0.6 of DHCP - still no go. Sometimes a manual use of "dhclient eth1" manages to get a lease from the server, but as of yet I haven't figured out what the conditions for that to happen are.
"dhcping -v -s 192.168.0.1" gets a valid response from the server as soon as I've set the IP adresse manually - but dhclient usually doesn't.

I have to admit that this kind of behaviour is somewhat annoying.

Okay, some more weird stuff: DHCP doesn't work 95% of the time when I'm using a wired connection.

It works all the time via wireless but only halfway. I'm connecting to the network, credentials are fine, I get my IP, I can ping the router but cannot connect to the internet. It seems as if the DHCP client doesn't fetch / set the gateway and/or the DNS server. When I set the gateway / DNS-IP manually, everything works fine.

This is with DHCP-3.0.6

Something with your system cause the LiveDVD is not effected by the dhcp upgrades since it is not upgraded.

Sounds like you have problem with networkmanager. Have you updated that?

[Rhywden]

emerge knetworkmanager didn't do any good either.
