I am trying to install NetGear ethernet card to use with my cable modem
(RoadRunner service, dynamically assigns IP addresses) which is recognized
and uses the tulip driver on Mandrake 8.0. It seems like the detection
using the Mandrake Internet Configuration, goes fine. It detects an
ethernet card and sets up LAN with no error messages. Under host I tried
rr.twmi.com and the default localhost.localdomain, neither work, but I don't
really know what host they are looking for. Neither worked though, my Win2K
system works fine and with ipconfig tells me that the default host is
rr.twmi.com (that's where I got it from). After the internet set up, the
applet has the connect to internet button which when I click tries (for
about 20-30 seconds) to connect but with no luck. I did select auto dhcp,
when setting up. A few times the applet actually showed that something was
send, but no bytes received??? I am also not sure that anything was ever
send, since there is no way for me to verify and the applet might have a
different deffinition of send and consider no error as send??? Am I missing
some steps here? I did go through the archive and found that I need to run
the
'dhcpcd -d -n -h COxxxxxxx-A eth0'
command. What is COxxxxxx-A are the x's need to be subsituted, or is this a
litteral meaning?
Thanks in advance to anyone that replies.
