Getting dhcp working correctly with AT&T is well known to be hard under
linux (cue for 100s of replies, "well, I got it working okay"). Most
people use a static IP (look through the mailing list archives for more
information than you want to know on that subject). The one liner to get
DHCP up that works for me is:
dhcpcd -r -h <hostname> <dev>
where hostname is the first part of your hostname, eg c1248709-d if your
host is c1248709-d.clmba1.mo.home.com, and dev is the ethernet card
connected to your modem, eg eth0.
In the December 2000 issue of Linux Journal there was a comment that one
person had to use all the switches:
dhcpcd -r -h <hostname> -I 1:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -l 3600 <dev>
where all those xx's are the MAC address of your ethernet card. Fun?
Cheers, Rob
