Hi Rich,

I am not sure that it is quite that simple.
The unit is connected to a router that should provided DHCP services, yet it doesn't want to connect.

The other port connects fine to the service.

Peter.

You should only have dhcp assign an IP address on one interface, and you should only have one interface per network.

This issue could easily be resolved by disabling the the Ethernet controller in the BIOS or if that is not possible blacklist the r6040 driver then you'll only be using the GB controller which would then be eth0

Or use the nodhcp boot code and  just run udhcpc on the interface you wish to use.

Here is what ipconfig reports

You got the syntax wrong, see
Code: [Select]
ifconfig --helpor manpage.

Also, please prefer posting text over photos for terminal output.

Testing is being done by a colleague at another site and all I got sent back was an image.
Sorry about that.
