[gentoo-dev] DHCP

[gentoo-dev] DHCP

[JP Sartre]

Hi all.. I may have spoken to a few of you in #gentoo regarding this, but I am really at a loss here. I realize there is no DHCP script as of yet with gentoo, but I have been unable to configure my network as a result. What would the procedure be for me to get my network up with dhcp? A binary of dhcp was kindly made for me, but I am at a loss as to what to do once I've pkmerged it.. 

Any way to incorporate pump in gentoo. It's by far the easiest I've heard. Anyhow, thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

BTW, I have a cable modem with a dynamic IP if that helps..

Any hints on PPPoE with a 2.4.4 Kernel would help to. I use adsl with dynamic I.P.
externel modem.
Thanks

PPPoE and RP-PPPoE are for adsl adapter that are connected via a network
card to your machine.
If you have such an adapter, try rp-pppoe. It comes with an configure
script.
Just run adsl-setup after you installed the package.

cd /usr/portage/net-misc
emerge dhcp-3.0_beta0224.ebuild

dhclient ethN  (where N is a number, I have two interfaces on my laptop eth0
is the onboard eepro and eth1 is my pcmcia nic)

I use dhcp for both. WIth my pcmcia stuff I had to edit
/etc/pcmcia/network to reflect the correct paths etc.

and I rarely use my onboard so I just run it by hand, you could however make a
/etc/rc.d/config/inet.eth0 look like this.

IFACE=eth0

netup() {
	/sbin/dhclient $IFACE
}
netdown(){
	/sbin/ifconfig $IFACE down
}

And if I weren't so lazy I'd also add in the ipchains stuff too.
