Re: eth0 problem after installing netscape
Well, I'm realizing what has happened here. I installed potato on my
wife's machine and in the libranet cd it asked for network connection
data. I entered my IP address (static IP), dns name servers, gateway,
domain, etc.. then when I configured the kernel, I configured it using
dhcp.
Now, I find that as long as the wife's machine is in windows, everything
works fine (because it's using the dhcp connection) but in linux both
machines are screwy.
I tried using linuxconf (included with the distro) to edit my network
configuration, but it doesn't seem to write to the proper file, in short
doesn't work.
Could someone please tell me how and which file to edit, so I can get
her machine using dhcp in linux. Hopefully, this will solve my problem.
thanks in advance
