hey,
has anyone successfully connected to a LAN using DHCP to configure all your
settings? i've been trying with my 3Com 3c905b without any luck. whenever i
try to configure eth0 to use dhcp as its config mode in basic host
information (of linuxconf), it never saves my settings. that is, i put in
info under Adaptor 1 (set it for dhcp, pick eth0, and pick a kernel module).
i then leave and return, only to find the info i entered gone. and also,
when i quit linuxconf and go to activate changes, i get an error saying that
/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd has taken more than 15 seconds. it asks me to skip the
command, abort the procedure, or kill linuxconf. i just hit skip. does
anyone have any suggestions on what may be going wrong? i should note that
on boot, when my computer tries to setup eth0, it reports a failure to get
an IP from the dhcp. the lights on my card are blinking, so there is a
connection, and the card works fine in windows 2000.
here's my system info:
First off, here's my system info:
AMD Ahtlon 550
Asus K7M Motherboard
