Actually, I had the same problem. I called and said I needed to use a laptop from work on my cable connection. They said turn the modem off for about 5 minutes, this clears some file that the modem stores your MAC address in. Then plug in the new NIC. Works like a champ. I've had to do this several times.
I was going to be pretty pissed off if they were to tell me I had to let them know every time I changed network cards. Fortunately I didn't have to yell at anybody! ;) -- Brad Bendily - CNA On Sat, 10 Aug 2002, Tim Fournet wrote: > I'm using RH 7.2 on my machine with dhcpcd and it works fine.
