Configuring DHCP on my laptop is not working. I tried the below two approaches.
[1] Configured my laptop for DHCP access using inetmenu. I can ping to the
modem but net access is not available.
[2] Deconfigured via inetmenu and tried manual configuration (create empty
files /etc/hostname.rtls0 and /etc/dhcp.rtls0). Reboot. Again same result -
modem pings, can connect to modem via its http interface for administration but
cannot connect to the internet.
Also when configured with the inetmenu, the information doesn't seem to be
persistent. It needs to be configured again on reboots. While manual
configuration as in [2] is persistent.
The entries for DNS servers of the service provider are in the modem. The
laptop only needs the IP address(192.168.1.2 for system and 192.168.1.1 for
modem) and the netmask(FFFFFF00).
Are there any additional steps required?
Does the modem provide a default route? If not, that's probably the
problem. "netstat -r" and "/sbin/dhcpinfo Router" would be the things
to look at.
