Hi!
I have installed a LinkSys HPRO200 ADSL Router. It is connected to my ADSL
modem (an Alacatel) one using an Ethernet cable, and has another Ethernet
cable for LAN and a few phone-line adaptors. Now, I connected a Win98
laptop to the phone adaptor and my workstation (a dual boot Win98/MDK 9.0
machine) to the Ethernet LAN .adaptor.
In Windows everything works fine and I can surf the Internet (I checked
WWW and SSH) perfectly. Now, when I try to boot into Linux and connect to
the Modem, I am encountering problems. I configured my eth0 card to be
DHCP. However, running "./if-up eth0" (directly from the root shell or
from /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart) cause the prompt to hang up for
a long time and then to report that:
Tx timeout - resetting
timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server responce
When it is running I can see by typing "/sbin/ifconfig" that eth0 is up
and that several packets are transmitted, but none received.
My /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0 file is as follows:
<<<
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
ONBOOT="yes"
IPADDR=""
[ Lots of IPX junk snipped ]
>>>
Now my Ethernet card uses the dmfe driver and worked fine when I connected
straight to the ADSL modem using pptp. (and words fine on Win98)
Trying to run "/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up"
and pinging the modem address at 192.168.1.1 does no yield anything. I can
ping myself (192.168.1.2) but not the modem.
If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong, please reply.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
