Re: Nic Issues..
Ok, i gave that a shot, as far as i could tell dhcp is installed and the
"/etc/network/interfaces" file is correct. allthough I am a "newb" so Ill
attach that...
When i tried the network restart it gave me:
Reconfiguring network interfaces: cat: /var/run/dhclient.pid: no such file
or directory
done
So I checked the syslog, it says:
Jun 9 14:25:38 ingersoll dhclient-2.2.x: socket: Protocol not available -
make sure CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_FILTER are defined in your kernel
configuration!
Jun 9 14:25:38 ingersoll dhclient-2.2.x: exiting.
Do I do that? If so, where is that in the little xconfig screen with all
the buttons?
Thanks again :-)
