Greets,  having an issue with SuSE 6.3 and setting up on a cable service 
provided by Adelphia using dhcp.  They say they are compatible but of course 
provide no tech support.. I have a D-Link 530tx+ setup and working on a 3 
computer lan with two windows machines nad a 10/100 switch.   What I have 
attempted is taking out the nic on one of the windows machines nad setting it 
up for dhcp on the linux box..  but yast is having a hard time realizing this 
card is even there.

So .. now I went back into yast and am simply attempting to setupt he D-Link 
as auto IP dhcp .. do this.. type in dhclient eth0 and I get a bunch of sends 
on 255.255.255.255 and no DHCPOFFERS accepted..   for some reason I just cant 
get this setup.
  any help would be appreciated.. in the dhcp config file (name may be wrong 
not at that machien right now) I noticed there is a setting for user ID 
called adelphia to find the user identification ID and they said they verify 
off a MAC addy on the cable modem itself.   

Anyone with ideas on what I am missing??? 
Thanks,  James.
