hi,
I join the group having problems with dhcp. I moved from Debian (sarge?) to Ubuntu Gutsy at my University. After few connection problems I fixed by choosing a fix IP. However, I move the computer to a place in which a fix IP is not possible. I modified the network setting and all seems to work properly, ...till I shut down... no useful internet connection. ifconfig reports the old IP! Thus, I temporary fixed the problem with
sudo ifdown eth0
followed by
sudo ifup eth0

I hope this bug becomes fixed some day. Meanwhile, please, any of you knows where can I put an scrip with those ifdown and ifup commands? At boot? I tried in init.d/myscripts and it does not work.

Thanks,
Gustavo
