Hi. I just installed Debian last night on my system, and everything works great except the network. I have a cable modem, and the DHCP server requires that I send in my hostname with my request. So far, I have tried (and failed at using): 1) using pump to explicitly define my hostname 2) using dhcpcd to define my hostname 3) automatic configuration with dbootstrap
I had problems with this before in Linux (I previously used suse, but switched for moral and ethical reasons, plus they have been getting shady lately), but the command dhcpcd -h XXXXXXXXX eth0 (where XXXXXXXXX is my hostname) seemed to fix it. Please, if anybody has any idea how this problem could be solved I would be very appreciative. Thanks!!!! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Listen to your Yahoo!
