My new neighbor has a older Gateway computer ELP 500C. He has three
windows computers hooked to a hub and uses a ambit cable modem. He
replaced one of the windows computers with a ubuntu computer. So far he
cant get the machine to receive a IP address.
He tried:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart with returned command not found.
sudo dhclient returned: DHCPDISCOVER and then after about three minute
wait DHCPOFFERS receivd no working leases in persistened database -
sleeping.
When he removes this ubuntu computer and connect his Windows computer,
the windows computers gets a ip right away.
