I'm a Linux newbie.

ALN-201 pci ethernet card and Terayon cable modem.

Under Redhat 6.0 I get the message 'delaying eth0 configuration ...
FAILED on each startup.

After many attempts to reconfigure networking and driver nothing seems
to happen except 'cannot contact host address' or to that effect.

This hardware setup works fine under Windows and with modem based
connection under Linux.

Can someone help with this or point to detailed help source with step by
step instructions for inexperienced user.

Thanks

Geoff

The problem is that when you use the dhcp client that came with RH6.0 (pump) it
wil not give you an IP. I finally replaced it with the dhcpd and it worked fine.
So I suggest you get a copy of the dhcpd (not the one that came with redhat 6.0
doesn't work) and replace pump with it! (I think pump is some where in /bin (try
whereis pump to determen the location)
to get this to work look in the ifup file and replace the pump command with
dhcpd -h put_you_host_name_here. This should work fine!

I believe that you mean dhcpcd -- dhcpd is a DHCP Server... :-)

please replace dhcpd with dhcpcd (spelling error)
