Re: DHCP and debian
our DHCP server to assign it's ip-address, DNS servers, netmask, etc. Is this possible? Yes and exceptionally easy. Get the dhcpcd package (the beta for 2.2 kernels). I have a question cencerning dhcp. Been running debian for about a month or so. I am using a cable modem to access the net. When I first installed dhcpcd (and now dhcpcd-sv) I only had one ethernet card installed. No problems. Now I am using two, and even though they seem to be detected correctly, and the modules being loaded, dhcpcd no longer detects my ip address, and I cannot access the internet. I've checked my dhcpcd.conf and it is set for eth0, which is the card that I have hooked to the cable modem. If anyone has any ideas of what I can do to possibly troubleshoot this, I would appreciate it. I do know that everything is working correctly, because my network is functioning fine under Windows. This is one of the last reasons that I even have win installed, other than some games, and I definately want to correct it.
Re: DHCP and debian
Subject: Re: DHCP and debian I believe there is a limitation with the 2.0.X kernel which prevents dhcp from working if you have more than one ethernet card. There may be a work-around (other than upgrading your kernel and everything else) but I don't know what it might be. I'd search around on deja.com. running 2.2.8
Re: Gnome
Create a file .xsession in your homedirectory. I use xterm -ls -geometry 80x24+0+63 xterm -ls -geometry 80x24+515+63 /usr/bin/X11/fvwm2 /usr/bin/panel Alternatively, you could just use the line gnome-session I have a couple of questions concerning the .xsession script. Will calling gnome session load enlightenment, and whatever other programs I have loaded? also, what is the for at the end of each line above? My .xsession looks something like this: /usr/local/bin/licq /usr/local/bin/gaim /usr/share/enlightenment/enlightenment exec gnome-session The first few times I have shut down and restarted, everything came back just as above, with the exception that gaim was not loading, but now, when I start xwindows, E loads, along with my gnome panel, and two (sometimes three) cases of licq It also loads up at least one eterm window, and if I have one open when I shut down, it will load up more. More questions g. 1. Sometimes when I shut down and restart, my panel settings are saved, and still there, but sometimes they are not, and I have to re-do my panel setup. 2. Does anyone know of any way to save the settings with the asclock applet. It does not seem to want to keep my time zone, and am-pm settings, or the theme i use. 3. I had the power go out during a storm a couple of days ago, while netscape was running, now everytime I start up, netscape is started as well. 4. what is the meaning of life? : hehe, pretty new at linux, so I always have a million questions.
eth0, etc..
I have apparently lost my /dev/eth0, /dev/eth1 etc... files during a kernel recompile. How do I get them back?
