Re: [newbie] DHCP, Pump commands and Cable Modem Setup
Try www.freecisco.org, the site has a floopy drive linux server software. It can do routing of your single ip address and share it with your networked computers. Also features print server, http server and ppp modules. Get the Freesco027 version of the software. I'm very impressed with it and have it configured in an hour. I have already used it for my internet cafe business. =] Noah --- Romanator [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi everybody, Has any one had success setting a single Linux box using DHCP, pump and setting up your cable modem?

Re: [newbie] DHCP, Pump commands and Cable Modem Setup
Another good floppy based Router/Firewall/dhcp/dhclient linux server is the Linux Router Project. It can be run on one floppy or depending on other services you want to run multiple floppies. I have been running the EigerStien2BETA image and has proven to be very stable and no fuss. There are other LRP images available if the word beta scares you. It and other LRP images can be found at lrp.c0wz.com and lrp.steinkuehler.net . I have mine setup to run DHCP, dhclient, dnscache, ipchains and portsentry.

My provider swbell.net allows and configures for DHCP on the RJ45 side of the DSL modem. A friend attempted to use PPPoE on his Linksys and failed at first and then it worked after he had given up (now since I have not checked his setup I have no idea if he switched it back to DHCP while he was attempting to connect multiple times and failing or not...). I set my DLink router up with DHCP on the WAN side and boom it worked just fine. It did not suprise me since my NT box and Linux box had been setup for DHCP directly attached to the DSL modem. So, the short of it: I am connecting to DSL (and have been for nearly 8 months) without PPPoE. The only thing I can glean from my experience and those reported here is that DSL can be configured multiple ways depending upon the provider. So to me that means there is no universal answer to the burning question of how to connect to DSL/Cable modems... -- D.M.(Mike) Mattix [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've tried using Drakconfig going to the hardware configuration dialog. it shows a network card is installed, but warns that it is already configured when I try and configure it. I recognize the benefits of Unix Linux - that's why I'm trying to get it up running. But I have to admit Windows still is easier to configure in some respects.

It is an option on DrakeConfig. The problem is that the automatic install does not configure your network card. I only have the text mode version working on the system I am currently running but the GUI version has a tabbed interface. You must click on the adapter 1 tab and enable that adapter, then select DHCP also in the same tab and you should be on your way.

Re: [newbie] DHCP, Pump commands and Cable Modem Setup
Depending on your particular service, this can either be extremely simple, or a little tricky. Give us a bit more infomration if you have the equipment and account, or tell us which service you plan to use, or how you plan to set things up. -Greg - Original Message - From: "Romanator" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi everybody, Has any one had success setting a single Linux box using DHCP, pump and setting up your cable modem?

RE: [newbie] DHCP, Pump commands and Cable Modem Setup
I'm having a similar problem with a DSL modem. I've tried configuring statically, but am still unable to connect. When trying to up the eth0 interface with the ifconfig command, I get the error "this resource is temporarily unavailable." Or something similar. I would be grateful for any suggestions.
