Try googling "dhcp option 240", there is a lot of answers in Spanish. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Wow, thanks. It appears to be a parameter the dhcp server has to provide, when serving IPs for certain VLAN, in order that the TV service works. Which means I can not setup dhcp in another local machine, it has to be in the router. I found, at my ISP forum, a link that explains that and also how to configure the TV decoder if not using dhcp, which I'll write here for completeness (even if it Spanish). http://comunidad.movistar.es/t5/Soporte-T%C3%A9cnico-MOVISTAR/DHCP-Option-24... Practically, it means I have to use their router. Flashing it is outside of the question, and using another router is really complicated. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Yes, that sounds about right. There are lots of such dhcp options, especially vendor specific.

You can also have vendor-specific options in your own dhcp server. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.8°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

From the comments I read on my ISP forum and others, it is far from trivial. My ISP doesn't document all the settings, and they can change them without prior notice. You have to call their "assistance" and happen to hit someone that knows. Or google hopping you are not the first one, or try their forum. Using their router means they handle it remotely. Unless the minimal changes I apply disable that... -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

It is easy to configure in dhcp, but you obviously have to know what to configure :-)
