I am using Bell Sympatico high speen internet under RedHat9.0. When I am connected to the internet, my connectiion automatically goies off and then comes in. I used the pppoe that came with RedHat9.0. As root, /sbin/adsl-setup is used to configure internet connection. Everything is fine and simple. I gave user control "yes" during setup. However, everytime I have to pass /sbin/adsl-start as root. If I do that as user, nothing happens. My NIC is configured to get IP from dhcp during boot. It causes delay during boot time and fails to get IP. That's reasonable, I think. However, what should be the correct configuratioin for the NIC. I tried with static private IP but then I do not know the DNS.
Would be very much happy if some one can give a solution.j sleep ?
