I now have dhcpcd running. I can't use tcpdump, because I don't have
it, nor any way to get it at the moment. If I had netatalk, I could
download it to my Mac laptop and transfer it, but I don't have
netatalk, either.
I do have sniffit, though, and when I ping the ISP''s gateway, I get
nothing. However, I do get input that seems intended for another
machine on the cable (24.207.8.58 ...oh, here's another:
24.207.8.125).
Here is the result of route:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric
Ref Use Iface
localnet * 255.255.255.0 U
0 0 0 eth0
24.207.8.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0
0 0 eth1
default 24.207.8.1 0.0.0.0 UG
0 0 0 eth1
default treehouse.ellis 0.0.0.0 UG
1 0 0 eth0
That netmask value of 255.255.252.0 looks odd to me.
The relevant portions of dmesg are:
rtl8139.c:v1.07 5/6/99 DOnald Becker
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/rtl8139.html
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xb800, IRQ 12, 00:50:ba:86:2b:7a
eth1: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xb400, IRQ 10, 00:50:ba:86:34:ff
It's late, and I don't have time to review xconfig.
