[lug] Network problem

[Scott Saad]

Actually.... pump is a complete waste of time.  I spent an entire day
messing around with my net card trying to get Linux to see the network.  I
finally ended up using dhcpcd, which is the another dhcp client that works
much better.  I believe it comes with the Red Hat distribution.  I would
suggest uninstalling pump and using dhcpcd.  It's much better.

Hope this helps...

Subject: [lug] Network problem


On a school network which is currently using NT and VAX systems for the
network (old Appletalk network) using Ethernet.
I reformatted a GW200 from Win98 to 5.1 Red Hat then upgraded to 6.0.  When
using 5.1 I was able to connect to the school system using a static internal
(10.xxx) addressing scheme - and trying the school's "test" DHCP from a
Linux machine.  However, when they shifted the DHCP to the VAX, I lost the
connectivity.
I have the possibility of two static addresses - one the network people set
10.xxx, the other is the old DNS address I had on the GW200 - a 204.xxx
addressing.  In both cases I have a gateway address and  a domain address.
My card is a 3Com509 Combo card and worked fine under Win98 and RH5.1, but
not now under 6.0.
Can anyone help? And, no the IS people won't as I'm trying to do this via
Linux.
