[neonatus@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Bostjan Muller)]

Hi!

I am trying to set up my network on my laptop so it would use the pcmcia nad
use the dhcpclient to connect to a local dhcpd server.
I do connect, get the ip, but cannot browse the net (or intranet) I cannot
connect to the nameserver as it seems  I can ping the addresses, but cannot
telnet ...

I never did this before with linux, allthough win98 on the same laptop with the
same dhcpd configuration worked great (well in a matter of speach).
The dhcpd config follows:
option domain-name "neonatus.net";
option domain-name-servers maja.neonatus.net;

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
  
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.10;
  option broadcast-address 192.168.1.1;
  option routers maja.neonatus.net;
  option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
  option domain-name "neonatus-net";
}

Client setup in /etc/dhclient.conf is:

end host-name "spiritus.neonatus.net";
#send dhcp-client-identifier 1:0:a0:24:ab:fb:9c;
#supersede domain-name "fugue.com home.vix.com";
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.1;

end dhcp-lease-time 3600;
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
        domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
timeout 60;
retry 60;
reboot 10;
select-timeout 5;
initial-interval 2;
script "/sbin/dhclient-script";

#media "-link0 -link1 -link2", "link0 link1";
#reject 192.33.137.209;

Can someone please help me get my network link to my laptop up.

Thx in advance!
