Hello- I am having a problem connecting to my isp's dhcp server and i don't know what i am doing wrong. I am using the Dachstein floppy on a Pentium one. Here are the steps I have made so far. I have one nic (3 com 3c509B isa irq 7 mem address 350) in the machine currently. I know the card works because I have tried it on my local network. I will add another when I get it to communicate with the dhcp server.
1) I registered the mac address with my isp (road runner). They asked me if I was running windows or MacOS. I just told them windows, even though it is Linux ( i figure that shouldn't matter what i tell them). 2) I uncommented the "3c509" line for my nic in the /etc/modules file. 3) I reboot and during the boot process it says it cannot authenticate with the dhcp server. I did a dmesg | grep eth0 : my card is on eth0. If anyone could give me a direction or help me find the problem that would be great. Thank you.
