Hello,
I have resolved my initial network problems only to discover another..Heres background..My cablemodem/ethernet card worked when initally installed, but when my isp(tampabay.rr.com)
changed address numbers I lost my use of netscape..If I re-entered new numbers it works again..I discovered that instead of the DHCP server, I had it set to Manual or static settings..I
tried to configure DHCP similar to this web page for dynamic selection.. http://www.inform.umd.edu/CampusInfo/Departments/RES/virtualsetup/Linux/linux_dorm.html
After setting it up like it shows when I reboot the computer
it fails to load the ethernet card properly and gives the message(bringing up interface eth0 Can't find DHCP client)
I suspect that the server for DHCP did not get installed..
How can I check for it and then install it if it's not there..MDK 7.1 distro..Any helpful information is welcomed but Please not too heavy, as this is new to me..TIA...
