1 Hello all,
2
3 I have just downloaded and burned the rc5 build cd in hopes of running
4 Gentoo and helping with the development (or at least the docs!).
5
6 One problem though...
7
8 I have done the following:
9 1) Boot from build CD image (42MB size)
10
11 2) Login as root
12
13 3) modprobe tulip (activates network card)
14
15 4) ifconfig eth0 up
16
17 5) dhcpcd -d eth0
18
19 I get the card to broadcast a request, but it times out.
20
21 BTW, I am using a lynxsys dsl router (has a dhcp server) to connect. Also,
22 this setup works in Debian Potato and Woody. What is different in this
23 system?
24
25 Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
