DHCP not working with 1 laptop
-
anyone??? ??? ???

You need to provide a "bit" more information.
Like how your network is setup. (a diagram?) -
Packet captures from an affected laptop would probably be helpful.
-
Also - What OS is the laptop running???
If Vista make sure the firewall is not interfering!
(gotta love microsloft)

my network is a simple one, very simple; laptop is using windows xp, but I have loaded a linux livecd, but even with linux, and using command line: dhclient eth0, I could not get an IP ???
I do not know what to do anymore…

We are experiencing the exact same thing. about 20 machines on the network get ips no problem, but one laptop that an engineer uses does not get a dhcp lease, we have tried static reservation, but still no go, infact we can not even see any message in the dhcp log relating to this laptop at all. If we statically assign on the laptop and don't use dhcp all works fine. This Laptop is running Linux Ubuntu 7.10 and works fine on other client networks with dhcp, just seems to be non functional with PFsense. All our sites are using PFsense 1.2 final.
Any ideas what this could be, as its starting to be a pain in the butt for us.?

Try a different linux kernel version.
-
in my case I have tried windows xp (the original host system) and linux (ubuntu, I think) both dynamic and static configuration; it didn't worked; no related messages in pfsense dhcp logs; tryied different ethernet cables… very very strange...
-
Could the NIC be broken?

I'm afraid not just because the notebook owner said that at home he uses his adsl modem via ethernet adapter; he said that at his or his girlfriend home the network adapter works fine; I would say the same if he didnt said that for me, just because I did a lot of tests, with more than one operational system (I did with linux because I trust in its results, cant say the same about win) and could not work.
