I don't know why there aren't any man pages for these utilities, but they seem like they'd be extremely helpful in situations such as your's. The problem is, I'm not really able to experiment with these right now... a lot going on. Anyway, I'm hoping you might oblige and tell me what happens, if anything :-)
Well, I find differences which are probably the problem. One anyway: RP114: wahoo:~ # ifstatus eth0 dhcpcd not running eth0 is up 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOTRAILERS,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:50:ba:b9:71:f8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.0.2/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global eth0 current lease for eth0: IPADDR=192.168.0.2 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 HOSTNAME='dhcppc1' DOMAIN='no-ip.org' DNS=192.168.0.1 DHCPSIADDR=192.168.0.1 DHCPCHADDR=00:50:BA:B9:71:F8 WGT624: wahoo:~ # ifstatus eth0 dhcpcd running eth0 is up 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOTRAILERS,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:50:ba:b9:71:f8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.2/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0 current lease for eth0: IPADDR=192.168.1.2 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 DNS=192.168.1.1 DHCPSIADDR=0.0.0.0 DHCPCHADDR=00:50:BA:B9:71:F8 wahoo:~ # ps aux|grep dhcp root 2507 0.0 0.0 1516 428 ? S 22:41 0:00 /sbin/dhcpcd -D -R -N -t 999999 -h wahoo eth0 root 2600 0.0 0.0 1764 576 pts/27 S 22:42 0:00 grep dhcp Seems that dhcpcd is active with the wireless router and not the wired router and has given the router 192.168.1.1 (so the address in the manual is *wrong*). I have no hostname assigned with the WGT624 and DHCPSIADDR is not assigned (?). Netsearch reveals that DHCPSIADDR is my external address which I would assume should be 192.168.1.1 in the WGT624 case. A search in Yast2, System Config Editor, reveals nothing that makes sense in the present situation. But I am still unable to ping or access 192.168.1.1 and if I stop dhcpcd, I loose eth0. I am still blind to something or you are presuming more knowledge in front of my keyboard than exists :^) ps: I really appreciate and envy your analytical approach and excellent ability to convey information. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2
