[SLE] @Home Setup with 6.3
I am trying to setup SuSe 6.3 with @Home. Has anyone been successful and can share their Yast configs? I have been trying to setup with the @Home for a few months now and have been unsuccessful. Thanks. -Les- -- 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/
@home in phoenix uses dhcp with lease expiration at 7 days of inactivity. I am using @home with a static ip, but I use the net every day. The tech that installed mine setup it up with a static IP on my Windows NT box. By the way, I'm using 6.4 and do recall problems with 6.3. Maybe you need a newer dhcpd client? A friend for mine also had @home installed last Thursday and installed SuSE 6.4 on another partition. His SuSE 6.4 works with dhcp using the dhcpd client by typing dhcpd -h "yourhostname", with yourhostname by your machines host name. Hopes this helps. However, your situation maybe somewhat different. Les Campbell wrote:

I helped a friend of mine do this. @home should have given you a sheet of
paper with setup information.
In yast all you need is the domain addresses. The IP address you are asigned
and the DFGW. The gateway address.
We didn't use DHCP.
You will have to get smtp and pop addresses off of thier website. We couldn't
get the proxy working so we set up everything without it.

For DHCP: There's two solutions that I recalled looking into If you want to stick with the standard client, look under the /etc directory and look for the DHCP configuration. It should show you the place where you could set the client to connect by sending your hostname and then you can get your ip. You have to enable DHCP in yast. If you want to try the Red Hat's DHCP client, you gotta look around, but I think it should install just the same. For Static IP Just type the numbers provided as if you're on a LAN (you are actually on a LAN). In case you're using the provided ISA NIC 3com 509 in my case, you have to disable plug and play on the NIC, by look at 3com's site to find the drivers. Disable plug and play and use the legacy drivers under windows, then fill in whatever the tech did. (record what he did first before you remove the device drivers under windows) This will ensure that Linux would be able to use the NIC.
