Re: [gentoo-user] DHCP interface?
restart it manually do: /etc/init.d/net.eth1 stop /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start That will cause it to go out and get it's new settings via dhcp. Ahhh Thank you. When I do this, (the commands your referring to above) does this tell it to look in ect/conf.d/net then..? And from there it knows whether its a static ip or to run dhcp?? Thanks, JBanks exactly. -- Chris Bare [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Thanks, JBanks You are right here. For future reference, you could also take a look at the script itself if you are looking for a particular answer. Even if you don't understand the script, often there will be useful comments. You will probably see in the comments at the top of your /etc/init.d/net.ethX script a reference to /etc/conf.d/net for configuration. Actually, I don't know exactly when the values from conf.d/net are loaded, but I could only assume that it happens before the script runs (I can't find any place in-script where it is loaded - but I could be way off base here.)

[gentoo-user] DHCP interface?
Reposting in the hopes that I get a bite. I've researched this but don't seem to find anything significant that helps answer my 2 questions. JBanks --- Joshua Banks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I've just added another nic card and statically assigned the address and used rc-update add net.eth1 default and added the eth1 interface/address info in /etc/conf.d/net. This works fine right now with a static address. 2 questions: 1) Eth1 will be connected to a cable modem and will need to be using dhcp to get its interface/gateway info. So do I just simply edit the /etc/conf.d/net settings when the time comes to change from static to dhcp and the eth1 interface will automatically revert to using dhcp settings or do I need to do something otherwise? 2) Having added eth1 to the default run-level via rc-update, will switching the interface to dhcp (versus it being statically addressed now) have an effect or not? If so, what (if simple) do I need to do? Thanks, Joshua Banks __ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

If so, what (if simple) do I need to do? Correct. If you make the change in /etc/conf.d/net it will work as you expect. The file /etc/conf.d/net is nothing more then a place holder for numeric ip values. Adding it via 'rc-update add net.eth1 default' only told gentoo to start that device at boot time, the config is where the acual values come from. All in all you were on the right path to begin with.
