Setup to automatically obtain DNS if you are using DHCP. Otherwise things
tend to get squirrelly. I have my FC1 and FC2test1 running on my cable
modem at home just fine.

Hi
I run Fedora Core 1 (on a dual boot with Win 98) ..
Recently I attached a cable modem to the m/c and set it up as below :
Settings on eth0: (local n/w)
eth0 is connected to the local network and runs Samba and DHCPD (on eth0
only). Set to a static IP of 192.168.1.1
Settings on eth1 : (Motorola 5100 Surfboard cable modem)
Automatically obtain IP address settings with dhcp
DHCP Settings : Hostname is empty and Automatically obtain DNS is
unchecked and Hardware is bound to the proper MAC address
When I try to activate the eth1 interface it fails. An ifconfig on eth1
returns the following output :
[root@localhost root]# ifconfig eth1
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:BA:08:43:4C
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:864 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:65356 (63.8 Kb) TX bytes:3420 (3.3 Kb)

<< The same cable connection on Win98 works without any hitches and I
get connected>>
I want to use my Fedora box with the net and hence need help urgently
Thanks in advance
Regards
Srini
