Hi All, I have just installed RedHat 7.2 but I am having severe problems with getting IP address via DHCP. This is the story. During installation, I enabled DHCP for the two Ethernet interfaces my server has. After installation, my server was given a name localhost.localdomain with only the loopback IP address 127.0.0.1, even though the DHCP server of my DSL provider has been contacted and an IP address obtained. When I typed ifconfig at the command line I saw the IP address and gateways obtained from the DHCP server. The weired thing is, this IP address does not appear in the IP address configuration window and the /etc/hosts file. When I changed the server name from localhost to the real name and rebooted, I kept getting an error saying "Could not obtain IP address for <my real computername>" I used to have Redhat 7.0 and never had this problem. I did not do an upgrade, I decided to do a clean installation of RedHat 7.2. Has anyone come across this sort of problem? Is there something obvious that I am doing wrong?
