Hi, Ok, I installed dhclinet under SuSE 6.3 and everything worked fine. I had added my hostname in /etc/dhclient.conf witch worked perfectly. Now, in SuSE 6.4, I tried the same, but I got errors about a non existing eth1. Sometimes it did work, but I didn't get a IP adress (wich is kinda crucial ;-) Well, after reading good things about dhcpcd in this mailinglist I thought I give that a try. And indeed, dhcpcd -h cc6743-a did the trick. But, when I rebooted (or init 1 and then init 2) SuSE complained again that eth1 didn't exist. Changed the two cards (eth1 (internet) became eth0, etc.) but I ended up with the same problems as with dhclient. Sometimes it did work, but not after a full reboot. The output of ifconfig in a working situation: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:5F:C2:E4:8C inet addr:192.168.0.99 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:646 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:729 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:33 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base address:0x1000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:DA:11:BD:69 inet addr:212.204.140.107 Bcast:212.204.143.255 Mask:255.255.252.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4477 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:459 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:6 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base address:0x1080 The only thing I see here is that both cards use the same interrupt. But when I use static IP's for both nic's that isn't a problem. When I run dhcpcd and it runs without errors the second line (with the IP adresses) is somethimes missing. Can someone please give me a hint? I would be very grateful.
