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.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Broadband<BR><BR></DIV></FONT>This question may or may not have been answered
before. 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 <B>timed out
waiting for a valid DHCP server response. </B>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.

<P>P.S. My windoze box connects fine. Exact same NIC as the linux box.
