Anthony, try installing the dhcpcd (note the extra 'cd') rpms from the mandrake
installation cd or elsewhere. Use: "dhcpcd -h cXXXXXXX-a" from an su terminal.
This should set eth0 to use dhcp AT&T style. It will hang up for a moment as it
talks to the @home dhcp server, but wait until the prompt comes up and ping
your 'static" ip to check it. You should pretty much wipe out all your configs
for eth0(write them down in case this doesn't work) from netconf. You can view
all the info dhcpcd collects and uses in /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info. linuxconf
hasn't been very nice to me in setting this up. This works for connecting the
cable modem to a Davicom 9102 NIC and Linksys LNE100TX NIC. An odd occurrenc
that has occured on the system I connect using the Davicom 9102 NIC is that in
linuxconf, adapter 1 and 2 have identical configurations...dhcp, ip is blank
netmask=255.255.255.0, dev=eth0, mod=dmfe) and for some reason they both keep
coming back like that post-boot after entering "dhcpcd -h cXXXXXXX-a" It works
so I'm not attempting to fix it...but if anyone has insight on why this
occurs...let's hear it! (by the way...dhcpcd fails on my system during boot and
I enter that command under su after I log in).
