This question may or may not have been answered before. I recently got a cable modem courtesy of AT&T (mediaone). When I try to connect with my RH 7.0 box i keep getting the error timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response. I have researched this online and have come up with the advice that dhcpcd needs the -h option with a mysterious hostname i.e Cxxxxxx-a, which the AT&T helpless desk knows nothing about. I would really like some help on this before I go insane. Thank you in advance. D.J. Callais djx at mediaone.net P.S. My windoze box connects fine. Exact same NIC as the linux box. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
