Hi Ed,
try it out this way:
Check if pump is installed - if not - install it.
Check it with: rpm -q pump
If this command doesn't return a thing - issue: urpmi pump
Make sure there is not another dhcp programm running:
ps auxwww | grep dhcp
If there is one - check which one that is, stop this program - and remove the
package. If you know where the binary is - a: rpm -qf /sbin/dhcpd
b.e. will tell yo the package name, a rpm -e <package-name> will remove it.
Once installed - make sure you have the Network_Device pump should run on
configured as follows:
~smurphy# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
DEVICE=eth2
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
_make_ _sure_ that the eth device is the correct one. Unix starts counting at
0, windows starts at 1 !!!
Once - this is done - you should be set up - issue a:
ifup eth2
and the pump (dhcp) should fire up you network.
Works here - with a Cable-Modem.
If you want some more detailed help - you need to give us more detailed
informations on you system, the setup etc.
