Here are a couple more. And btw, Rogers does NOT used fixed IP's, at
least in my area (Toronto). My IP has only changed once in the past
year, but their setup does say to use DHCP.
Please let us know how you make out, I'm about to do the same thing, as
soon as I decide how I'm gonna jump in to Linux - dual boot machine
(with W98SE), new hard drive or new box.
Good luck.

Hello everybody,
I went away on vacation and got used to an empty mailbox. :) But I'm back. I hope all you northern hemisphere people have had a great summer. Right now where I live it's the most beautiful time of year. Anythow, I'm wondering if there are any Rogers@home subscribers there who can give me a quick rundown of what I need to do to connect. I'm running SuSE 7.1 and so far I've tried numerous things but none of them work. rcdhclient start eth0 appears succesful but in fact it isn't -- can't ping anything but myself. The HOWTO's out there are RedHat specific and not of much help. Rogers uses the Terayon Cable Modem and fixed IPs and hostnames so it should be simple but it ain't worked so far.
I'm awfully tired but I hope this info is enough.
Best,
Corvin
