[techtalk] Address Stealing

[Davida Schiff]

Howdy,

Strange thing is happening when I am installing 6.1 on (work) Pentium III's.
During install, I choose dhcp (using Tier 1 NIC with eepro100.o Module).
When the install is finished and the PC reboots...dhcp  gives it an address
that is static for another PC. ifconfig shows a bogus Ethernet address (per
cavebear's site). These are dual boot (with NT) PCs. The Ethernet address
from the NT side is correct and the PC is given a unique IP address when NT
boots. Anyone know of a work around other then assigning each PC a static
address.  Bugzilla has no info on this problem. Same thing for deja.com. All
Red Hat updated RPM's have been applied. 

Thanks,

Davida
