I have RH7.0 and it took me a couple of days before I got mine to connect. First, do you have the other nic registered with AT&T. They track the MAC address of the cards. If not, give them a call and tell them you want to register it. I was not told that there is an extra charge for it. They will tell you that you can only use one at a time. I have a 2 Windoze machine that are routed through my Linux machine out to the internet. Each NIC gets it's own IP address. If you want to run both I believe there is an extra charge of about $10 that will get you two more IP addresses. Rather than using dhcpcd, I used pump. Here is a link to an article that helped me a lot. They even deal with cable modem. http://www.linux-mag.com/2000-05/networking_01.html <http://www.linux-mag.com/2000-05/networking_01.html> John Miller Dain Rauscher Inc.

I recently got a cable modem courtesy of AT&T (mediaone). When I try to connect with my RH 7.0 box i keep getting the error timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response. I have researched this online and have come up with the advice that dhcpcd needs the -h option with a mysterious hostname i.e Cxxxxxx-a, which the AT&T helpless desk knows nothing about. I would really like some help on this before I go insane. Thank you in advance. D.J. Callais djx at mediaone.net P.S. My windoze box connects fine. Exact same NIC as the linux box. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
