Hi,
I want to have my ppp connection to my ISP started on startup. I have
tried several /etc/network/interfaces settings but seems that it only
works if I have the
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
lines in the interfaces config file. However, what these lines do is this:
Listening on LPF/eth1/00:09:6b:e0:39:ff
Sending on LPF/eth1/00:09:6b:e0:39:ff
Sending on Socket/fallback/fallback-net
DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 19
DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 20
DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database.
Exiting.
Failed to bring up eth1.
I want to get rid of this since this makes no sense and takes way too
much time at each startup. Miraculously, this is what makes the ppp
connection work afterwards (if I remove the eth1 lines, the connection
can not be established)
Can anyone help me with this? Thank you!
Balint
