[Techtalk] setting dhcp after installing/old hub

[Kathryn Hargreaves]

Hi,

I'm running RH 7.2 and need to set up eth0 to use DHCP.  It didn't get
done at installation probably because the Ethernet card wasn't detected
properly (and I had to install the correct driver afterwards).  How do I
do it now?  All the HOW-TOs seem to be out of date.

Another problem, more generic: I have an old hub (Asante 10T HUB) on
which port 12 has an IN/OUT switch.  I'm trying to connect it to a
gateway (2Wire's HomePortal 1000S).  I assume I connect the gateway to
the hub with this port.  (Using any other random port doesn't work.)
I've tried the switch in both positions, I've tried both crossover and
straighthrough cables.  I actually have *two* of these hubs and have
tried them both.  Any clues?

Thanks,
Kathy
