That's how it is supposed to be, but maybe after making the changes to the files per a previous suggestion, it doesn't work correctly??

On RHEL5, the program used is "dhclient". To see if this is running, type

Code:
pgrep dhclient

If you get a process ID, then it is running. If it's not running, then you probably did something wrong during installation. Report back here and we'll see what we can do.

Kill the process ("pkill dhclient") and start it again as root from the command line:
Code:
dhclient -d

The -d tells it to stay in the foreground and print out debug messages. If you can't figure out what's going on there, copy the output and post it. (I suggest copying the output, saving to a file on a USB stick and rebooting into Vista...).

NAME

       dhclient.leases - DHCP client lease database

DESCRIPTION

       The  Internet  Software Consortium DHCP client keeps a persistent database of leases that it has acquired that are still valid.	 The data-
       base is a free-form ASCII file containing one valid declaration per lease.   If more than one declaration appears for a	given  lease,  the
       last one in the file is used.   The file is written as a log, so this is not an unusual occurrance.

       The format of the lease declarations is described in dhclient.conf(5).

FILES

       /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases

SEE ALSO

       dhclient(8), dhcp-options(5), dhclient.conf(5), dhcpd(8), dhcpd.conf(5), RFC2132, RFC2131.

AUTHOR

       dhclient(8)  was  written  by  Ted Lemon under a contract with Vixie Labs.   Funding for this project was provided by the Internet Software
       Consortium.  Information about the Internet Software Consortium can be found at http://www.isc.org.
