Hi all,
Loaded 7.2 onto the box at home last night, and apart from one glitch, had no problems.
The one glitch is this: Have cable internet connection through Optus@Home (the Aussie
arm of Excite@Home) which I cannot get to work via DrakConf - after stuffing around in
drakconf for a couple of hours configuring the network card (realtek chipset using
ne-2k driver module) I gave up trying to automagically configure the internet
connection in drakconf - went to the shell and ran dhcpcd -h myhostname eth0 and all
was up and working.
My question is: can someone tell me a simple, straightforward method of connecting to
the internet via cable modem at system startup? All the FAQs, NHFs, HOW-TOs etc I've
found all suggest different methods, and none of these work....
Cheers
Dave
