Request:
A cable-modem needs to be connected. The common use of the phrase describes a
data communication set equipped with high capacity, using a modulated carrier to
accommodate the high bandwith. Typically the cable-modem is connected to the
provider with a coaxial cable, and to the computer with an Ethernet cable.
Procedure:
-
The Ethernet card is fitted into the cabinet, if necesary the card is
configured, see
http://www.suse.de/sdb/en/html/rb_isapnp.html
-
If the cable-modem contains a DHCP server, the package
dhclient, series n must be installed. Documentation is available from
-
man dhclient
-
man dhclient-script
-
dhclient.conf
-
dhclient.leases
-
Further manuals are located at
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/mini/DHCP.html.
-
Under normal circumstances, the only necessary configuration is the activation with
YaST, using the version of December 13th, 1998 or later.
