Cannot get IP from new router
I just put a Belkin wireless router into my home network replacing a no name wired router that assigned DHCP addresses fine. I cannot get an IP address via DHCP on my Ubuntu Linux box that is wired to the router although all the widows machines work wired or wireless. The router's logs show the mac address of my nic and show a DCHP discover,Offer and Ack for 192.168.2.6, but the Linux machine does not show the ip when i do a ifconfig. If i do ifdown/up I see Discovers but it says no offers received and times out. I have 2 nics in the box and see the same whichever one I connect the cable to. The router shows the mac of whichever nic I use and tries to give it 192.168.2.6 but my Linux machine does not get it.I updated the router firmware have rebooted both router and Linux machine numerous times and no luck. Any advice would be appreciated.
