Is anyone by chance using AT&T@Home cable service especially in the Chicago
area?  I currently run mine statically via linux -->cable modem and it runs
fine except my cable modem itself keeps getting disconnected every so often.
I have called support but they always have me make sure I am running DHCP
and that it works before they'll check out my modem.  If I tell them it
loses connectivity and I run static they say cause it's bumping into another
client trying to use same address but I never tell them I am running linux.

I have setup DHCP with windows but I can't time it right to see if it loses
connection or not.  Plus I run email, etc. on my linux server so I can't
leave it there long or I won't get my emails, etc..

I have tried setting up DHCP with linux but no matter what I try it never
will get it's IP address.  If I run this command manually it sort of seems
to work..

/sbin/dhcpcd -dh CIXXXXXX-A (this would be my @home computer name)

Above gives me my ip addresss and even sets /etc/resolv.conf up it seems as
well.  But as mentioned above if I setup dhcp whether thru netconf,
linuxconf, or manually it seems to not get connected.  I even upgraded to
latest dhcp in rawhide and same results.

So exactly what do I need to do to get this working?  Do I hvae to use the
computer+hostname of @home or can I use my FQDN?  What if I have a 2nd NIC?
Does that interfer with the one connected to @home as far as host name and
what not?
