DHCPcd

[Gordon Chamberlin]

Hello,

I am trying to setup dhcpcd to configure my external ethernet card from Cox@Home's DHCP server.

I tried 'dhcpcd -DH eth0' and received the following messages in my kernel:
Sep 11 23:52:58 jane kernel: dhcpcd uses obsolete (PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET) 
Sep 11 23:53:58 jane dhcpcd[2190]: timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response 

I tried 'dhclient eth0' and received the following:
Sep 12 00:26:51 jane dhclient: Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client 2.0b1pl29

Sep 12 00:27:52 jane dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.
Sep 12 00:27:52 jane dhclient: No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. 

Questions:
Any suggestions would be appriciated?  Could someone tell me what I might be missing?  I assume linux can be configured using cox's dhcp server.

When cox@home was first installed, it was done with windows.  I had to move the NIC over to the linux machine to get it to continue to work.  It is working right now.  I'd just like to get the dhcp part working.

Thanks.
