I was the author of the original DHCP client mini-HOWTO. I wrote it last fall, but withdrew it this winter, because it had become obsolete. The HOWTO described a technique for using Win95 DHCP information to give Linux its necessary IP identity and server information. It was a stopgap, and did not

FWIW, there a new version of the DHCP mini-HOWTO at: http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/mini/DHCPd I appears to have been updated on 5 March 1997. It no longer mentions winipcfg. P.S. Does anyone know about how this "wave" does authentication. Does it use Kerberos? -- --=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

One other thing I forgot to mention. I think you can also use alternative sofware such as bootp, but I am quite sure that Rogers Wave uses the dhcp protocol. Cheers. -- Colin R. Telmer, Institute of Intergovernmental Relations School of Policy Studies, Queen's University

You will probably have to figure how to authenticate yourself on the cable company's network, and how to get an IP address assigned to you if it is done dynamically. I have the RoadRunner cable modem service from Time-Warner, and they us DHCP to assign IPs and Kerberos to do authentication. -- --

What kind of cable modems are they leasing to you? Zenith? LAN City? Or are they doing it some other way? If so, I can't provide much help :/ With either the Zenith or the LAN City product, the cable modem is actaully an ethernet switch/cable modem, and an ehternet card is installed into your P
