Hi

i finnaly got my dual boot and network card working (phew)
thanks to all u guys who have helped me

now i have another problem LOL
becoz i run a dual OS (win2k and SUSE 7.0) i run vmware and win2k is my host OS, with SUSE as guest. i have a CABLE MODEM DHCP connection - not dialup

I wud like to know what IP, DNS and routing information i need to enter in SUSE network config program (YAST2) becoz i cant seem to access the internet. I seem to have a routing problem. If i enter the IP address that win2k is using i get a IP address conflict. I tried adding a 192.168.x.x. address but still no luck. Can someone plz tell me what i need to do and which files i need to edit?

i have tried looking at /etc/resolv.conf , /etc/rc.config

but im not sure what to do there. i have "ALL" the information from win2k (IPCONFIG) but im not sure HOW/WHERE/WHAT to enter.

Thanks for ur help!!

btw, i cant get DHCP to work neither

try where hostname is the 'client id' your isp gave you and ethN is the network adapter you are conncting with. (eth0, eth1....)

Once you have that working you can change your init scripts in /sbin/init.d/dhclient...

# The echo return value for success (defined in /etc/rc.config).
return=$rc_done
case "$1" in
start)
if test -z "$DHCP_DEVS" ; then
echo -n "No devices available/configured to start dhcp client on"
return=$rc_failed
else
echo -n "Starting service dhcp client on $DHCP_DEVS"
# wait for free interface during boot phase
# test ! $link = $base && sleep 3 # why this ??? hope there isn't
# any obscured reason for it.
for DEV in $DHCP_DEVS; do
ifconfig $DEV down &>/dev/null
ifconfig $DEV 0.0.0.0 up
done
# Waiting $DHCLIENT_SLEEP seconds for $NETDEV to stabilize...
sleep $DHCLIENT_SLEEP # Do we really need that???
if test "$DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME" = "yes" ; then
# Use Option -D -H to set the host and domain name
startproc -t 5 -q /sbin/dhcpcd -D -H $DHCP_DEVS || return=$rc_failed
else
startproc -t 5 -q /sbin/dhcpcd $DHCP_DEVS || return=$rc_failed
fi
fi
echo -e "$return"
;;

In the highlighted parts you can add the -h option like this

You would substitute your given client ID for the hostname.





Oh carp. It's a VMWare question.
