Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] setting dhcpcd?

[Michael H. <mik...@ho...>]

In case this is kept in an accessible archive that can help someone else in=
 the same situation, this is what I learned.  At least with the Comcast ser=
vice in MA, you need to have some IP information in the config before dhcpc=
d will send DHCP_REQUEST, otherwise it will be looking for a response with =
DHCP_DISCOVER that the server isn't going to give it.  I took the IP from m=
y Windows laptop, which connected with no trouble, and used setup to disabl=
e DHCP in the NET config portion, and gave it the IP and netmask.  After it=
 connected, I went back in the enabled DHCP again, rebooted, and it connect=
ed fine. =20

My DNS problems were really an incompatible switchbox that wasn't allowing =
the clients to get a useful signal from the router.
