Binary package hint: dhcp

Hello,

Jaunty(64bit) fails to get an IP-Address from DHCP (dhcp client v3.1.1)
at boot by the router of the cable network. The company (cablecom, Mr.
Cekic) says, it's not a modem or network problem. The Cable Device is
Cisco/Scientific Atlanta EPC2203. Windows XP works as my cable-phone
does.

The case is similar to other reports. Forcing dhcp3-client to send on
eth0 the eth0 mac doesnt change the problem. Similar but not identical
to #354471.

The only solution I found is keep calling /sbin/dhclient EVERY 15minutes
(lease time is about 30min).

Some Details:

+ifconfig eth0 right after boot: (not working)
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 00:30:1......f  
          inet Adresse:192.168.0.93  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Maske:255.255.255.0
          inet6-Adresse: fe80......

+after calling dhclient manually (and repeating to do so every 900 seconds)
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 00:30:1.......f  
          inet Adresse:84.7.....41  Bcast:255.255.255.255  Maske:255.255.248.0
          inet6-Adresse:........ 

netstat -rn (working)
