Thanks for the replies guys, >No, the module loader should recognise that 8390 is required and load >that first. Yes, that's worked. >If this is RH do you have an /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 >and eth1? The modules won't get loaded until you try to ifconfig them >in the init scripts. If the spec files for the interfaces are missing, >the init script won't try to ifconfig them. Both of these are now configured to load at startup, one with the BOOTPROTO set to dhcp, and the other with the appropriate details. At first, the ne would stall while loading because if BOOTPROTO was set to dhcp in an ifcfg-ethx file, ifup would unsuccessfully try to use pump to obtain an IP address. Commenting the 3 lines 'if BOOTPROTO = "dhcp"' in the ifup file takes care of this. >You should see if your external cable modem nic >is configured to accept DHCP requests in the above eth0 file, apart from >that, I'm unsure. Yes, it is set, but I've still had no success with dhcpcd. Any other suggestions anyone? Apart from the NIC being configured and cable modem being physically connected to it, what else is there other than to issue the command: >dhcpcd -h <hostname> interface <interface> Thanks, Alex ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
