From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010802 Description of problem: I am using dhcp ethernet connection. When I configure my eth0 adapter in "neat" as DHCP client it adds the following line to configuration file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 BOOTPROTO=DHCP on the other hand the program /sbin/ifup which enables networking at boot time has the following lines #24-26 if [ "${BOOTPROTO}" = "bootp" -o "${BOOTPROTO}" = "dhcp" ]; then DYNCONFIG=true fi as you can see ifup is doing if BOOTPROTO="dhcp" with small letters while neat is writing it with capital letters. After i changed in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DHCP -> dhcp my ethernet connection started to work. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.try to configure dhcp client connection woth redhat-network-config "neat" Actual Results: the network was not working Expected Results: the network should work Additional info: after i replaces DHCP to dhcp everything works perfectly
