Linux Network Settings

The instructions for setting up boot-time DHCP vary dramatically

by distribution, so you may want to refer to your particular

version’s documentation.

Note:

If you have more than one network card installed, you will need to

pick distinct Ethernet identifiers for each (eth0, eth1, eth2, and so

forth). If you select an identifier other than eth0 for your cable

modem, use that identifier throughout.

RedHat

Edit or create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 so

that it contains the following three lines:

DEVICE=eth0

ONBOOT=yes

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

Congratulations! This completes the installation of your modem.

SuSE

Edit the file /etc/rc.config; search for the variables

NETCONFIG, NETDEV_0, and IFCONFIG_0.

Set them as follows (see the instructions in rc.config):

NETCONFIG="_0"

NETDEV_0="eth0"

IFCONFIG_0="dhcpclient"

Reboot with this command: /sbin/shutdown -r now.

Congratulations! This completes the installation of your modem.
