Hi all. I'm trying to install Potato to what will become my ipchains server. I had previously installed Slink on this computer, but managed to completely mangle my installation when my old ISP switched to PPPOE. My new provider (Videotron) uses DHCP for their cable modems, and I can get an address just fine in Windows on a different computer.
On my Potato box, different story. My Ethernet card seems to work (3Com 3c509b, shows up in ifconfig), but it does not get an IP address assigned on boot. Running : pump -i eth0 -R gets me an "Operation failed" error message, and no IP address. Is there anything else I need to configure? I'd read the man page, but since the installation has not completed, man does not work yet. I'm thinking of yanking out pump, and replacing it with dhcpcd. Any thoughts/ideas? Thanks, Dan
