I am in the process of doing a Southwestern Bell DSL self
install. I have the modem/bridge connected and solid lights
on the dsl and atm indicators. According to the docs, I am
jammin'.. However when I try to bring up eth0 with dhcp
enabled it times out and the interface is dropped. ifconfig
shows eth0 with no ipaddress during this time. A ping
attempt shows trying to ping from 0.0.0.0. I guess all this
makes sense. The interface comes up fine here at the office
using the dhcpd that came with RedHat.
Any ideas? I have a call into tech support but I thought I
would try to get a jump on it. Do I need anything else for
this to work? We have dsl here at the office but it uses
static ipaddresses so the dhcp was not an issue.
I find a lot of references to problems with pump but few
specifics. What do I need to do to try a dhcp client rather
than pump? /sbin/ifup calls pump directly Do I have to
tweak ifup to get it to call dhcp instead?
I assume that I cam manually start the interface using
ifconfig -i eth0 up. and then call pump but that does not
work either. I can see the lights on the bridge flicker and
tcpdump reports 14 packets recieved but no output. calling
tcpdump -i eth0 gives the error tht the interface is not up
even though ifconfig is doing the no ip address thing. Is
there some other tool to sniff the interface so I can see
what is happening?
Any help appreciated.
