RE: [ts-7000] Re: DHCP Problem on TS-7800 Ethernet Port

Very strange. It seems something else is missing or is interferring with your setup. Normally the dhclient will run at boot (check /etc/init.d and /etc/rc*.d) and get the interface set up for you. You don't need to run it manually - you should see a dialog similar to that you describe below on boot on the console. Do you have the hotplug packages installed?

I stripped down my interfaces file to just what you have above.
Then I rebooted and did "ifconfig -a".
It showed no IP address.
So I did "dhclient -v eth0" and got this:

Sounds good, right?

But an "ifconfig -a" yields this:
------------------

So just to be sure I tried pinging 130.215.55.154, and it
said the network was unreachable.

Thanks to all who have tried to help.
Any other ideas about things I can try?
