The base distribution that was used is Redhat 7.2. The cables were definitely in the correct way, network cards setup correctly too.
I also don't have log files available. Whats "straight" DHCP? Not feeding the hostname to DHCP server at Optus for authentication?? eg. dhcpcd -h c3555555 eth0. Does anyone know if requirements differ from area to area. In other words, does "all" Optus cable DHCP servers in various nodes operate identically? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
