2) If you are plugging into the cable modem's ethernet port directly, I presume you have the proper (usually CROSSOVER) cable and have LINK lights on at both ends of the cable. 3) I presume the cable modem has been checked with it's software and it is configured to be a dhcp passlong server. (check it's manual or software) 4) I presume all the above and been checked and that an ifconfig shows no IP address subnet mask ,etc being assigned??? 5) Since you are already working on a standard LAN with static addresses then it is a simple configuration issue somewhere, not a linux kernel, driver , etc issue. Ie you are on the verge of a "Ah! Duh! Stupid Me!" event horizon. > > > --- "Rigler, Steve" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ken, > > > > Maybe you've already tried this, but my cable modem > > has a "feature" > > which requires it to be reset every time a new > > device is plugged > > into it. > > > > -Steve > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: Ken Plumley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 10:47 AM > > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Subject: RE: Ethernet & DHCP Fails on Cable Modem > > to Internet > > > > > > > > > Jason, > > > > > > The nic is an SMC EZ 10/100 the driver loaded for > > it > > > is the RealTek RTL-8139. > > > > > > I tested the nic with a fixed IP and was able to > > > access other machines on the LAN. > > > > > > Ken > -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
