Re: broken dhcp after update, other broken things

Last weekend I upgraded three computers to FC6 with varying results (took
a very long time on the laptop).

This week I updated each to the latest updates and installed some files
from
extras like octave and xmms. I have been having nothing but trouble since
then.

Laptop (x86064): wireless won't connect unless I manually run
kwifimanager -- may be fixed now
change profile to wired, plug in cable to NIC, it hangs on
trying to get a DHCP lease

Desktop1 (x86-64): won't boot now, hangs on trying to get a DHCP lease

Desktop1 (Athlon): complained about not finding
/etc/selinux/targeted/policy...
-- booted single user with selinux=0, found selinux-policy-targeted
was
missing
-- yum installed selinux-policy-targeted
-- reboots fine but selinux is off, gets lease from firewall w/o
problems

Firewall is WRK54G (yes, the broken one, has to be reset every few days).

How can I fix DHCP with my two 64-bit machines? Any suggestions?

Maybe dhcpd is not running?
Maybe /etc/dhcpd.conf is incorrect?
What do you read in /var/log/messages about attempts to connect
(DHCPREQUEST, etc)?
