Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had a
problem installing thier cable modems in suse
7.1 professional. I searched the archives and
found two helpful posts, but to no avail. The tech support down here seems
to be a "windows only" staff....
anyways, i used yast, as per instructions in
the book, and everything seemed to
work smoothly. But nothing worked,
telnet, ftp, netscape, nada...
ifconfig shows the device running and up, but no ip
address....I can ping charter.net and send packets, but get an error "server
returned unrecognized response. cannot find default server.
I've tried using a fixed ip, but even that
failed,,,,,,
the cable modem is supplied by surfboard, a
sb4100(pci 0xE000 irq 10). which is piped throught an
ne 2000 compatible ether card.
On boot up or restart it keeps telling me the dhcp
client failed, so i called "tech" to see if i needed to setup relay servers, but
they said no.
I would appreciate any help or ideas on how to get
this beast running, I hate having
to download reboot, mount and copy...
Please, desperate,
David
