Jon, I have a Cisco 675 router acting as a DHCP server and I did exactly what you did to get it working, initally. Works great. JLK On Tuesday 10 April 2001 07:04, Jon Clausen wrote:

I can't disable the NIC or assign local IP as eth1 is connected to the ADSL modem and the ISP uses DHCP for connection. : (
What exactly kind of equipment is your "ADSL-modem"? - Strictly speaking the use of the term "modem" in conjunction with ADSL is misleading: Modem=MOdulate-DEModulate and basically is used when some stage of the signal is analog (e.g. between the serial port and the device)
Since your setup involves two nic's the proper term to use would be "ADSL-adaptor", which then brings me to this:
a: the device is some sort of PPPoE adaptor, in which case I have little help to offer :-(
b: the device is something similar to a router, in which case I have this help to offer:
If your device acts as a router, and your ISP tells you to use DHCP, then it is, in fact, your router that acts as a DHCP-server as well. If this is the case then what you may try is the following:
Start up your Wintendo (if I read previous message correct you have it working with DHCP?).
Start>run>winipcfg>'ok'
This will tell you some stuff about which IP-adress/netmask the router assings your PC. Make a note of this.
Shut down Wintendo. Boot up Linux. Using your method of choice (yast) to assign eht1 an IP-adress in the same subnet as what you got under Wintendo. Restart your network, and you *should* be up...:-)
This is more or less what I did to get my Linux-box working with the Cisco-router that my ISP provided.
Because even though your router acts as a DHCP-server, it doesn't care if your machine has a static IP-adress...
Hope this helps! ;-)

eth0 is connected to the small home LAN. : )
Any other suggestion? Dennis/sg
More help on how to make the eth1 alive (waiting for DHCP allocation
from
the ISP) will be appreciated.

The best thing is to assign a private ip address like 192.168.254.x on this network interface, or to disable the interface in yast. But this can give some routing problems.
