Re: [Cooker] nic configuration for @home (the wave)
try calling @home service. they can direct you to their website which "shows" your current ip#/gateway #/dns #'s. once you get these, use netconf (or linuxconf netconf) and enter the #'s in directly. for you email address smp #'s etc...use actual "numbers #" and not "$mail" (or characters). the above is how i do mine. somewhat difficult the first 1 or 2 times but is easy after you learn it. also, remeber to restart the network (linuxconf/netconf does this automatically) after you make changes. dunno about dhcp or bootp...tried dhcp and didn't work. think cox also has a "howto" page on the @home and linux/unix (or it maybe titled other o/s's...dunno)...you should find it in support how to setup @home (and maybe "advanced setup"...etc) On Fri, 23 Jun 2000, you wrote: Hi.

Hi. I'm have cable modem. I'm trying to get my linux machine two work with the at home service. @home uses DHCP. Hence I must configure my linux box run the dhcp client. I tried the following command but it still failed, dhcpcd -h hostname eth0 maybe it's not dhcp but bootp? i have no problems what are you using? normal cable modem? if so then configure the nic with linuxconf or soemthijng and set onboot to yes, and bring it up with either bootp (/sbin/pump) or dhcp. If anyone is familiar with setting up linux to work with the Cable modem your help is appreciated. p.s. I running redhat6.0 hamada this is a mandrake list.

your help is appreciated.
Is dhclient installed? If not, download it from the Internet
Software Consortium web site.
As root:
set up /etc/dhclient.conf to contain:
interface "eth0" { send host-name "your client id" ; }
then at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local add:
dhclient
and reboot.
Read man dhclient, dhclient.conf, dhclient.leases

[Cooker] nic configuration for @home (the wave)
hello, I'm trying to configure linux so it could use the @home service. For that I need to use DHCP. I tried running dhcpcd eth0, but that doesn't work. If could forward me a series of steps and tests to see if things are configured correctly, that would be fantastic. thanx Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

Actually, dhcpcd is a DHCP client, dhcpd is the server. - Original Message - From: "Guy T.

If could forward me a series of steps and tests to see if things are configured correctly, that would be fantastic. In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, there should be a line that says: BOOTPROTO="dhcp" If you don't have one, or have one that says BOOTPROTO=something else, you need to fix that. That ought to be all you need to do to enable DHCP on your eth0 interface.

Nope, "dhcpcd" is the client deamon and "dhcpd" is the deamon. seb
