What are you using for your dhcpcd command? A friend of mine has @home and he has to do something like dhcpcd -c cxxxxxxxxx where the cxxxxxxxx is some wierd number they give you.

Hi, I am new using SuSe so maybe my questions are a little dumb, but I can't find a solution.
As a precedent I can tell you that I am the proud owner of a @Home connection to the internet. That is simple on windows98 but with linux I still can't figure out what is going on. By the way I am using SuSe 6.1, I hope that is not too old.
I tried to hard code the configuration with the data provided by @Home. and I couldn't get my connection to work. I think the card is recognized because if i give dmesg it shows that the card is recognized (I put part of the output): ----- tulip.c:v0.90 10/20/98 becker@cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov eth0: Macronix 98715 PMAC at 0x2400, 00 80 c6 f8 3e c0, IRQ 11. -------
but even with that i couldn't get the connection to work. The output to ifconfig was:
----- eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:C6:F8:3E:C0 inet addr:24.113.223.159 Bcast:24.113.223.191 Mask:255.255.255.192 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:6 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:12 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base address:0x2400

With that resul I tried to configure the network using dhcp I got it from:ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/grimmer/misc/dhcpcd-1.3.18p3-0.i386.rpm
I did all the instructions and the only thing I could get was no results and the ifconfig result was similar. The difference is that in the second line (below) the isn't anything!!!

I don't know what I am doing wrong (I thought) I was right. Somebody could help me? I would appreciate any help from users (wizards) that have experience using the @Home Service and SuSe 6.1 (the version I have). At this point I don't know what files to modify, how to modify them etc etc .
Please I am a little desperate, I really need the connection to the internet using linux. So any help will be welcomed.
Thanks for your help
