dhcp setup

jturnbul · 02-21-2006, 05:39 PM

I notice during my boot, DHCPCD hangs up for several seconds

Code:

dhcpcd : MAC address = fd:43:fdetc

It only show the mac address of my 10/100 card (eth0), and not my wireless card. (eth1)

I beleive this is my issue with my card connecting to my home network but not the internet, as my gateway isnt being set properly.

Please read this thread aswell. I think its all part and partial to my problem. I'm just not getting any help in the Network section.

thanks, but nothing new there. I believe my wireless card is setup properly, as I can connect to my home network, but not the internet. So something is not routing properly. I achieved that manually adding in my server name.

It has something to do with dhcp configuration, seeing as it does not configure my wireless card.

I have read the man pages for dhcpcd, but I cant see a command to make it configure my wireless card.

looking in /etc/dhcpc there is a eth0.info file(my 10/100 card), but no eth1.info

Anyone know a command to run to create that??

and I partially solved this with the command

Code:

dhcpcd eth1 new

Internet works fine.

THis is only temp though. when I reboot, I have to do it again. Now I could add the script to run in my interface configuration editor when I bring my wifi connection up. But how do I get it to happen at boot like it does with my 10/100 card?
