[opensuse] Comcast problems
Have a Comcast cable modem connection, and was wondering if there is anything I can do to prevent having to issue the command rcnetwork restart every three or four hours? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sounds like your dhcp client is not working well. Anything in your logs to that extent? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You'll find most log files in /var/log. The one that contains most of the info on the system is messages. There are other log files that mostly pertain to a specific app such as mail. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

grep -i dhcp /var/log/messages However I gotta say its not too likely to be useful. I had a nic (Intel PILAb - supposedly a respected nic) that would just die each time its lease expired. I was getting all sorts of packes inbound but it would not renew its lease and therefore could not resolve anything. I trashed it and put in the cheapest of the cheap 10/100 pci nics from the local Radiocrap store and it has been rock solid ever since. I toss these things as fast as I can if they give me trouble, because nics out of scrap or surplus or obsolete machines are free, and new ones can be had for as little as 6 bucks, and good ones for 15 bucks. Even a 10meg ISA nick can keep up with a cable modem. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
