Ahh, using DHCP. From tldp.org, I found that on Mandrake you need to add the following lines to your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1: DEVICE="eth1" MACADDR="00:00:00:00:00:00" DHCP_HOSTNAME="hostname" Obviously you need to use your own MAC address. You should also set BOOTPROTO to 'dhcp' in ifcfg-eth1 like: BOOTPROTO=dhcp Mandrake uses a program thats config file requires a MAC address, which is why your error message was asking for one. You can get the MAC addresses with 'ifconfig -a' or with the Apple System Profiler under OS 9. tldp URL: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/DHCP/x74.html -- Charles Dostale System Administrator Silver Oaks Communications http://www.silveroaks.com 824 17th Street Moline IL USA 61265 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 309-797-9898 -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
