[SLE] suse63 and AT&T @home
well i finally got suse 63 running on @home without the dhcpcd or whatever the proggie was called again i did it by chance...i got dhcp installed, the client and the server and i also installed ipcomm and when i went into yast i was checking all my settings and i set it to dhcp and it all of a sudden started to load up a url in lynx...not sure what i did diffrent from before but im a happy camper now... -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
A big congrats to you. Just wish I could do the same. So you didn't bother with dhcpcd? Stuck with dhclient? Did you do much or most of the config in Yast? Hope you don't mind the questions, I'd love to get it working. Is your host name the c123456-a that @home assigned? And your domain name is what? The full FQDN? Or just something like home,com? I just can't understand what the problem is. My NIC seems to be working fine, but I can't get an IP. Even when I tried to configure it as a static IP. Yet it all works fine in Windows, even when I installed a Win2k, had @home up in minutes. If you can figure out what you did, or any ideas at all, please pass them on to me, and even post them somewhere as a howto. This has been a bitch. At 11:26 PM 2/7/2000 , you wrote:

I know, we must be missing something simple. I am able to connect to the world via modem. I ran Yast and updated some small files over the modem. But I don't want to update large files that way:-) Yes I'm spoiled, I want my T1 speeds:-) Is there any output of a file I can post here that might help someone understand what the problem is? I type 'ifconfig eth0' and get the card with the correct io and irq, just no IP. I type dmesg and it shows there. I have dhcpcd installed, and had removed dhclient. I configured the hostname and domain name in Yast. That I don't know if it's right. In Windows I have the computer name c123456-a (hostname) and then under workgroup I have "@home" and nothing else. In modules.conf I see alias smc-ultra, there are no options entered there. And I have turned off PnP for this card with smc's utility. At 03:12 PM 2/8/2000 , you wrote:

I had a lot of problems getting my @home connection to work, but they were not Linux related. Here are the steps that I took to get my Suse Linux 6.2 box working with @home. 1. configure your NIC. I did this with a static configuration because my local DHCP server is usually down. Just take to static IP address and subnet mask that you have in Windows and enter them accordingly in Yast. 2. set your hostname. Like you, I was not sure what my FQDN was. I ended up just using C123456-a. I noticed that Suse somehow added alton1.il.home.com to the hostname, which is the hostname I entered when I set up my DNS. Therefore I am guessing that you can use the hostname they gave you, and the domainname that you use for you DNS in Windows. That worked for me, and I hope that it helps you.

well for some ungodly reason it stopped working the next day????? im gonna mess with it again this weekend and see what the problem was like i said i installed ipcomm along with dhcp and just added all the settings that were on the yellow work order from when they installed the modem...ect oh yeah by the way they stole my winders 98 second edition cd with the plus 98 on it....still fighting with them to get it back... a word to the wise keep a close eye on the people who come into your house from @home they been getting people from all around the country helping out on all the installs cause they r backed up with orders cause the cable service they r providing is like swamping the hell outta them... its in demand big time... later.... p.s. i will let ya know if i get it running again...

Has anyone else noticed or had problems with the tftp package in 6.3? I ended up downloading the source and rebuilding it myself. Can this be fixed for the next release... please? - Herman -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Have you checked the updates for 6.3? IIRC there was also a new tftpd there. Ciao, Stefan -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
