Re: cable modem issue

[Chazz Mevoli <cmevoli afsa com>]

Get a program called dhcpcd and compile/install it (if not already on your
system).
Then, type the following at the prompt as root:

dhcpcd eth1

...where eth1 would be your ethernet card attached to the cable modem.
You wont need to know anything about the ISP (DNS and all are automatically

obtained).

if your ISP is running NT... try ->   dhcpcd -r eth1
