Subject: alternate dhcp

Hi,
no respone on similar threads let me try to hook on this one as it seems
similar:

I want to set up my Edubuntu System on DHCP working on Ports 1067/1068.
It worked fine under feisty but with the same porcedure, I get no
success under gusty.

The first DHCP-Reqest with the Boot Floppy works fine. On the 2nd one,
Booting the Client-Root , the System stopps with eth0 waiting forever
under Gusty.

Do you have any idea?? - I work on this for a month now!!
