Hello everyone,
I have successfully booted NetBSD on my Imac(OF 3.0). I'm doing this mainly
because my ethernet port is down, probably from a power surge. Everything
else on the computer works fine.
I have the USB ethernet adaptor(Netgear EA101) recognized as device kue0.
I cannot get a response from my DHCP server (a Linksys hardware router which
I have used with Linux/Intel stuff succesfully).
It sends a DHCPDISCOVER message to 255.255.255.255, port 67, with no offers
received. I am no DHCP/TCP expert. I know my router address is 192.168.1.1
My questions become:
1) Is the DHCPDISCOVER message going to the right address? How do I
reconfigure to send the message elsewhere?
2) More basically, has anyone here succesfully used a USB-ethernet adaptor
on a macppc?
Thanks for any advice.
Cindy
