I am still not able to get this darn cable modem to work with DHCP. I have made both cards (I have 2 NICS) work and when I do an "ifconfig -a" I can see both of them. On my dmesg, I see that it says that for "eth0: no IPv6 routers present" and "eth1: no IPv6 routers present". I am not sure what this is. For the next question. I am running this on a home Intranet with a Win98 machine. Initially, I had set up the network so that all machines had a static IP address. I used 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 for my two linux cards (which I could ping both from the windows machine) and 10.0.0.3 for my windows NIC. I was able to map network drive to my linux box for my web work and use the web server that way. Currently, I have this cable modem connected to the windows machine (so that I can use it) and with IP's set to DHCP, I cannot communicate with my linux box now. Does anyone have any idea how I can set this up so that it can be as it used to be? I went to a site on linux.com (http://www.linux.com/howto/mini/DHCP/index.html) but found in short order that this tutorial was not going to help me. It is for Red Hat 6.2 and some of the directories between RH and Suse are different. I am fairly new to this and not a networking genius either. If someone could help this poor pathetic life form, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Doug
