Please see above url as posted by the admin of the dhcp server.

dhcp3-client establishes connect, gets an ip address, then does not send the
proper ACK packet back to the dhcp server so the connection is lost.

there error in syslog is:

network is unreachable, there are no persisten dhcp leases in database.

this is with SSID hidden and Mac address filtering.

afaik the dhcp server is open source dhcp server. i have not the specifics on
the server software, only that it runs on an open source system.

the admin and i have concluded that dhcp3-client or some other network package
in ubuntu is not sendng the proper ACK response to the dhcp server. the above
url has all of that information.

afaik the same thing happens with dhcpcd client which was made with alien from
the dhcpcd homepage AFTER none of the above worked.

I'm marking this package as UNKNOWN as it doesn't seem specific to the dhcp
client used.

Could it possibly be dhcp-common affecting this?
