Its me, kev. Sorry, I misunderstood the request. I
redid the test on a separate computer and it didnt
broadcast the dhcprequest.

The router's log shows no dhcp activities.

I tried by passing the router and using my isp's dhcp
server but the result was the same.

I tried useing sysinstall on a computer with a
different network card and it worked.

I am useing 6.2 release.
