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 theat 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 WindowsXP, this same computer
works fine,
