Have you tried it by assigning a static IP to the NIC, like 192.168.1.2, and gateway of 192.168.1.1? I would think that should work, and take the dhcp client out of the picture. > and no dhclient.conf configurations have yet been successful. > Documentation of the pppoe indicates possible use of DHCP to establish > the connection and IP addresses, although monitoring (with ethereal) > the connection attempt for the WindozXP box never indicates use of > PPPoE or PPPoA PADR packets.

All that traffic is modem <-> DSLAM. PPPoA doesn't run over ethernet anyway, which you say is what the modem is doing. > Any other solutions you can advise short of running lynx software on > the Windoz box to make it a server? Huh? This setup is confusing me :/ Are the XP and linux boxes trying to access the same modem at the same time? Is that the problem? Are you sure the Linux NIC is functional? -- Hal Burgiss _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
