Later this week, I'll be getting a cable modem installed (Time Warner/Roadrunner/whatever) and I'm curious about the DHCP they use. I'm pretty sure the tech will be clueless about setting up the cable modem with Linux. I have a regular sort of DHCP client on my Debian box (I'm not sitting near it right now, so I don't know exactly what package it has). Will that work? Is there anything unusual about the DHCP system they use? I know Roadrunner used to have a very strange login system, but they scrapped that, right? If it's any help, I used to have Qwest DSL and a Cisco 678, and my box worked with getting an address from the 678 via DHCP. I just want to know the details ahead of time. Forewarned is forearmed and all. Thanks, Dan -- lemon | Dan Drake + gecko | drake at lemongecko.org ----- | http://lemongecko.org/drake ?! |
