Subject: Re: dhcp client: working!
I fixed it:
problem 1 solution: "/etc/dhclient-script" script is not needed, I removed
it.
"/etc/sysconfig/network" script only needs "NETWORKING=yes".
problem 2 seems to be solved by my earlier script.
problem 3 seems to be solved by my earlier script.
problem 4 solution is a symlink in /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts: "ln -s
ifcfg-eth0 eth0". Now /sbin/dhclient-script works, as does ifconfig.
It's up and running! Now for my next task: installing PPPOE so I can get my
gateway in contact with the internet...
Cheers,
SkyLined
