Hello All! I've just installed a Motorola Cybersurfr cable modem on my local cable provider's service. Of course they don't support Linux, but I'll end up setting up a page for them once I've got things working happily. Everything does work under Win95. I've installed the standard dhcpcd daemon (RedHat 5.2, dhcpcd-0-7.0). I'm intending on growing this into a rapidly progressing dual homed box - (a la TrinityOS from dranch). DHCPcd seems to be working on eth0, eth1 is to my private network 192.168.x.y. During boot, the DHCP boot process seems to be fighting with my local network parameters - it hangs sendmail and samba stuff during boot load - I think it's a domain name, hostname problem as DHCP is changing things before the boot process is complete. What I want from the DHCP client is an IP address for eth0 from my cable provider. It does provide a working resolv.conf in /etc/dhcpd. The boot process for eth0 and DHCP seems to be doing more than I think I want it to do. I'm using the standard /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup script and it seems to be right - the DHCP client does go out and passes through the eth1 initiation during boot OK. I don't want my domain name, hostname etc. overwritten by DHCP. I haven't put up even a basic firewall ruleset yet, and haven't enabled IPFW yet, it's a clean, new (well not exactly new) machine without anything important on it yet. Can you help prevent a tragedy? Thanks in advance! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For daily digest info, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
