remember folks, The only way to get a new lean on a problem is to get a new voice involved. In other words, the dumber the requester thinks the question is, the more others will think about it and come up with new ideas from threads of thought. That's the way the world expands it's knowledge. csijon ----------

what is suseconfig? I have not heard of this step before.

SuSEconfig, as I understand it, goes through and makes the appropriate adjustments to the startup scripts in the various runlevels.

...

I know that all the questions I have been sending may be getting tiresome but there really is not a lot of help for newbes on this matter except for the mailing list:)

Keep the questions coming, I think I learn as much from the questions of others as my own. Simply because there are so many things to learn. If you don't believe me, hit <tab> a few of times at a bash prompt then subtract how many commands you know and you will know how far you have left to go :-).

1 do I need to have dhclient and the dhcpcd rpm that you have provided installed? or do I uninstall dhclient first?

Uninstall dhclient first. Then install the other rpm.

...

2 when Im done whats next? This is from Lenz' message, use your favorite text editor (do not use YaST) and find lines resembling the ones that follow (they may not appear in a block like they are here), then make them the same as they are here. The only difference is use your actual network parameters, here it is eth0 with only one nic, yours might be eth1 if it is your second nic, eth2 for third nic etc.

...

For example, if you want to use the client on eth0, modifiy the following lines in /etc/rc.config:

NETCONFIG="_0" IPADDR_0="" NETDEV_0="eth0" IFCONFIG_0="dhcpclient" DHCLIENT="yes"

If you have two nics and are using the client on eth1 the lines might look like this NETCONFIG="_0 _1" IPADDR_1="" NETDEV_1="eth1" IFCONFIG_1="dhcpclient" DHCLIENT="yes"

I only have one, but thanks anyway.

...

If a line does not exist add it (mine has no DHCLIENT line). Save

the

...

file and run # SuSEconfig

what is suseconfig? I have not heard of this step before.

...

When that is finished you can either use telinit or reboot (something burning? :-P)

...

what is a good way to see if its all working?

# ifconfig will give you a breakdown of how your network interfaces are.

...

do I just ping something or is there some steps to go through?

Did I miss anything? ......gang? ......hello?

Tim

thanks for your time. I know that all the questions I have been sending may be getting tiresome but there really is not a lot of help for newbes on this matter except for the mailing list:)
