I have an Telindus 1121 ADSL modem connected to my extrenal network interface. Our ISP demands this modem is setup in bridging mode. The external interface is set to DHCP. Each time the server is rebooted I need to bring down the external interface and then up again to get the right IP address from my ISP. Every first time the external interface sends out an DHCP request it seems like the modem doesn't bind this address to the external interface, it always ends up with an IP address from the modem's DHCP pool. The second time after bringing down the interface and then up again it binds the ISP assigned IP address.
I was wondering if this is a known issue (Telindus of E-smith).
My e-smith version is 5.5
