let's see what tricks this particular router is playing with
'half bridge'... (full bridge and pppoe is usually easier when
your ISP supports it): run this and fire off a dhclient
# tcpdump -vvniurl0 -os2000 port bootps or port bootpc
The problem is that I can't run tcpdump on boot, before the dhcp
allocation fails. Once the machine has booted, it can get dhcp fine :(
I tried removed the /etc/mygate file because I thought that could
interfere, but that made no difference either :(
No matter who I try to ping (well, just my ISPs name servers;
www.google.com obviously fails) it always comes back with "sendto: No
route to host". I can't even traceroute!!
Maybe the modem's half bridging is broken, and I need to use full
bridged mode. Is that what is normally suggested? I can't find any
resources for half bridging PF gateways (or iptables for that matter).
Or is dhclient not working properly? I'm using some slightly stranger
hardware - it's a usb network thing. Could that make a difference?
