I am hooking up a second computer to the Time Warner roadrunner cable
modem network in Albany, NY. The first computer has been running
smoothly using RH v4.2 with dhcp at boot time. I am running v5.1 on the
new computer. At boot the ethernet card is detected properly and dhcp
fires. However, it is consistently fails. As additional information, I
have somehow screwed up the configuration such that I cannot
successfully ping anything - even localhost! When I run the network
configurator under the control panel, both localhost and eth0 are
inactive - I cannot activate them. Also, an odd observation - for v4.2
when dhcp fires it updates some network information contained in two
files (resolv.conf and hostinfo-eth0) in /etc/dhcpc. This directory does
not exist in v5.1. I went ahead and created it.
I must be doing something stupid. Anyone have any recommendations for
things to check or try out?
TIA,
Steve Ettorre
