Here in South Jersey we have not "officially" made the switch. However, Friday morning without warning my cable modem stopped working.
Previous set up: Cable Modem || (eth1 STATIC IP) Linux || (eth0 Internal IP) Switch ===== Win 98 || || Win Me Reading up on how the change went down (and after waiting 3 hours on hold without getting to talk to ANYONE) in other places, I set my Win 98 box to DHCP and plugged it directly into the Cable Modem. On a reboot, that worked, but that's not my desired solution. I figured it couldn't bet that hard to do the same for the Linux box, so I redid the cables to the original config above and used linux. I have the following DHCP rpms installed (rpm -qa | grep dhcp): dhcpcd-1.3.20pl0-1mdk dhcp-common-3.0-0.rc12.1mdk dhcpxd-1.0.3-8mdk dhcp-client-3.0-0.rc12.1mdk I used linuxconf to set eth1 to DHCP and let it reload the config. On the reload it failed to bring up eth1 saying it timed out. Clues?
