friday night, i installed weeks worth of stuff w/yum including fc3 770
kernel and on reboot connection stopped working. dhcp would work, but
everything else was host not reachable. i rebooted with previous two
kernels and still no network connection. something else in the updates
eliminated the default routing for 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0.
i edited network configuration and added it to static route ... and then
the next time, it said that default static route wasn't supported ...
but at least it got rid of the host not reachable.
Check if 'GATEWAY=' is defined in the ifcfg-ethX files
for which you have BOOTPROTO=dhcp .
If so, removing it may fix your problem.
dhclient will now honor GATEWAY, and attempt to set
the default route to GATEWAY if it is on the subnet
received from DHCP - otherwise , if GATEWAY is set
and not on the DHCP subnet, it sets no default route.
system-config-network leaves static configuration
settings in ifcfg-ethX files for DHCP interfaces.
This should be fixed with the next version of
system-config-network (bug 149780).
