Basically, the way I understand it is Linux DHCP clients and Cox DHCP servers don't talk the same language. It seems everybody's said it doesn't work. My one experience with trying DHCP on a Cox connection also didn't work out. The m$ box previously there was also hardcoded to the network setup. This is on a recent (last 6 mos) cable-modem install. I'd say either setup static networking info or get to know the DHCP protocols really well :). If someone's got multiple IPs they could config a Linux box, then watch all the DHCP traffic from an m$ box that works. That might help us debug the situation. ciao, der.hans -- # der.hans@LuftHans.com home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.Opnix.com # Only wimps use tape backup: _real_ men just upload their important # stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it. -- Linus Torvalds
