Hi Christian, and All:
Following up on yesterday's mails:
I did a sniff at the Cobbler server for the server that I want to
install CentOS on. Here the output (actual MAC address and IP are
changed):
------------
[root@cobbler ~]# tcpdump -ni eth1 ether host 00:1C:C4:K2:0E:31
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes
[ ... from here what shows after reboot, while server searches for DHCP ...]

04:17:16.103436 arp who-has 212.72.166.1 tell 212.72.166.26

I am not able to interpret that ... only that "IP 0.0.0.0" does not
really look very promissing.
Any Ideas?
Best wishes,
Frank
