Hello.
I have a computer with Comcast.net as my ISP. My
Ethernet cable goes from the network interface to the cable modem.
I have another computer with the same setup and
DHCP is no problem.
On the problem computer, the card does not acquire
an Ethernet address, and I don't know enough about DHCP in Linux to configure
the client software or configure the Ethernet card.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? The
non-working computer is a standard x86_64 machine with a RealTek "8139too". I
compared the scripts and configuration I could find, but got
nowhere.
The giveaway is that the "PCLiNK" on the modem does
not illuminate (meaning there is no signal from the Ethernet card to the cable
modem).
The thing is, in Windows XP, this same computer
works fine, DHCP-assigned address and nameservers, and everything.
Can anyone help with this issue?
