[lug] question about dhcpd & dhcpcd

[geo-lincs]

I set up DSL on our server without dhcpd. If your access is through
USWest.net and you're using a Cisco 675 (quite an assumption on my part),
then the following config should work:

Set up Cisco 675 exactly as described in manual (ppp mode, not bridge mode).
Make sure Linux recognizes your ethernet card and what it will be called
(mine's eth1)
The following root incantations got it up and running:

     # ifconfig eth1 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
     # route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth1
     # route add default gw 10.0.0.1 eth1

The DHCP server on the Cisco 675 *always* assigns the ethernet card
10.0.0.2. I think USWest set it up that way because it's so easy to set up
under Windows.

If you're not using USWest.net, then this is the long way of saying "I don't
know". But I hope this helps.
