Hi ,
Recently my internet provider switched subscribers from static IP addresses
to dynamic- through the use of DHCP.
Up until that switch occurred, I had linux working transparently through to
the internet etc- email and netscape and more all worked seamlessly.
With the change to DHCP, I can no longer see the internet- I must have
something configured wrong- eth0 and eth1 come up with delayed
initialization messages on boot (but actually never activate) - I have eth0
pointing out to the internet with the protocol set to DHCP, and eth1 as
internal with static ip address.
The impression I have from the Windows NT set up is that if you specify
'obtain ip address from DHCP server', other than host name, very little
else needs to be specified.
On the linux side, even when you choose DHCP as the protocal (under network
configuration under the control panel), it seems to give the opportunity to
specify an ip address or something. (doesnt make sense to me- but mebbe Im
out to lunch on this).
Has anyone gotten DHCP working successfully under linux in obtaining IP
addresses dynamically that could point me in the right direction?
P.S. I dont even have linux successfully seeing an internal machine with a
static IP address.(I used to) The only thing it recognizes is loopback
127.0.0.1 right now
signed
:-( using NT but missing linux :-(
