I have a question cencerning dhcp. Been running debian for about a month or so. I am using a cable modem to access the net. When I first installed dhcpcd (and now dhcpcd-sv) I only had one ethernet card installed. No problems. Now I am using two, and even though they seem to be detected correctly, and the modules being loaded, dhcpcd no longer detects my ip address, and I cannot access the internet. I've checked my dhcpcd.conf and it is set for eth0, which is the card that I have hooked to the cable modem. If anyone has any ideas of what I can do to possibly troubleshoot this, I would appreciate it. I do know that everything is working correctly, because my network is functioning fine under Windows. This is one of the last reasons that I even have win installed, other than some games, and I definately want to correct it.
