All,
(I posted this last night but didn't see it come across the list. Sorry
for any dupes.)
I've just got a new cable modem installed (which currently works fine on my
Win95 box) and I am trying to set it up on my Linux box.
Currently, I have a successful simple masq configuration with one Linux
box as a masq server using its 56k modem and my other two machines (one
Win95, one Linux) going through that to get to the internet. My goal is to
replace the regular modem with the cablemodem.
Before I add a second nic to my masq Linux box, I'm simply trying to get it
that box to connect through the cable modem on eth0 and it is not working.
I've reconfigured eth0 to use dhcp (through Redhat's control panel) and
when I run dhcpcd I get no ip and no connection.
Here's how it goes:
+ I run dhcpdc
+ I watch ifconfig and see eth0 configured with an ip of 0.0.0.0, etc.
(I expect that this is normal while it looks for a DHCP server and
waits for an IP to be allocated.)
+ after 30 seconds or I get the following message on stdout:
eth0: Setting promiscuous mode
and it says the following in the log file:
dhcpd[pid]: no DHCPOFFER messages
+ run ifconfig and there's no longer has an entry for eth0
I've also tried rebooting Linux to see if the startup will do any better.
Same behavior.
The cablemodem-mini-howto says it should be this simple. Am I missing
something? I have also tried starting up a DHCP server of my own on this
machine and still no satisfaction.
Am I missing a step? Any advice?
thanks.
