dhcp ?
eth0 should use dhcp and eth1 should be using 192.168.1.1.
this is what i did. ran netconfig ( because i dont know how to set up dhcp) to setup eth0. then i ran 'ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.1'. this part worked , i can ping other box's on the network and even ssh into them. when i reboot the computer ( so that i can get the address assigned to eth0). The correct NIC's light flashes, the dsl modem's transmit light flashes and then it stalls and says the following _______ eth0: media is unconnected, link down, or incompatable connection. dhcpcd[59]: timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response. ________ All the equipment works, as im using it now under win98. ive gotten this to work in redhat 7 and in freeSCO. however, i cant seem to get it to work with slackware 8 . any sugestions |
Did you say you are using DLS ?
from what I know in my area of DSL most service providers providing dsl do not use DHCP I would try pppoe |
yes, i get my dsl through the isp that i work for. using static ip's , Verizon's router got overloaded and they are now forcing us to use DHCP.
|
I would cd to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and either vi or pico ifcfg-eth0 and see what it looks like my file has only the following information in it
DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes and I have no problems whatsoever getting my ip from my dhcp providor I hope this helps |
Some providers setup their DHCP to only respond if the hostname of the computer is correct. Make sure that if your provider gives you a hostname (computer name, like i get from @home, is a crXXXXX-a) that you set the hostname of the computer to that name.
