I believe either i do not have dhcpd or not configured properly. Pls help me. regards Manisha
dhcpd is a service which SUPPLIES dhcp services. I don't think you want this, you want to RECEIVE a dhcp address?
If you do wish to set up dhcpd to supply addresses to your network, then please read the documentation. It is very simple. I say this because even I managed to read and set it up in 5 minutes, and I'm no guru.
If you simply wish to receive an address - what is the problem? Your network card seems to be sending the request, but getting no reply. It seems your cable modem is not a DHCP server.
I think you have to understand a vital thing here. Just because your cable modem receives a dynamic address from the ISP, it does not necessarily mean it acts as a dhcp server to serve an address to your network card.
Most cable modems here in Australia have very special Windows software to activate them properly. What make/model is it?
