dhcp client can't receive an ip address

[Guido]

Binary package hint: dhcp-client

After a clear new instalation of Ubuntu 8.10, system can't receive an ip address from dhcp server throught the wired network card. Manual try (sudo dhclient eth0) doesn't work as well. There is a dual boot on the same machine and Win XP can receive ip address with no problem. Different machine with the same Ubuntu distiribution works well too.

And I forgot this. Wired network card worked fine during the live session and installation.

I noticed in your lspci output that your Realtek network chipset isn't being detected completely and looked very similar to the comments in Bug 240470, particular this comment [1]. Please make sure that the BIOS on your system has the latest firmware upgrade applied.

I checked the BIOS and it's up to date.

But nevermind. I try clear installation of 9.04 now.

[Guido (vit-kotacka)]

It works perfectly on 9.04. No SW/HW change has been done except Jaunty installation.
