dumb question, assign dynamic IP to nic?

[defunkt]

i ran through this and set up a lot fo the services and actually really like zeroshell. so far ive only had one question: how can assign a dynamic IP to a NIC through the web interface. i currently have a cable modem which made me think PPPoe wasnt the solution because it is used for DSL.

because i do not have a static IP, what would be my best choice? i feel like im overlooking somehting…

anyone got a clue?

found it in teh faq… only supports PPPoe not cable modem…

and i got all excited…. darn.

well unfortuantly i cannot furhter use this until its supported…. someone email me when it is!

Zeroshell supports xDSL or cable modems which use an ethernet port (not USB). If your ISP supports the protocol PPPoE (Point to Point over ethernet) then Zeroshell is able to connect you to Internet. You just have to connect the cable modem to an ethernet interface and create a PPPoE connection. You have to configure the username and password if your Internet Provider requires it.

my ISP provides Dynamic IP addresses… not PPPoE… after doing a little research… and some extra tinkering, still could not get a NIC to grab an IP…

any other hints for me?

Hi all, I’m having the same problem posted by defunct, I have two connections here, one adsl, that is working well (using dmz zone configured at adsl router) and other at my cable modem ( dhcp with mac address auth).

To make my Cable modem work, i’m actually using the console and calling the dhclient, after the dhcp request is ok, the route protocol receives a second default gateway and to load the web on both interfaces I just need to nat the second interface to get the web working fine!

Now I’m in the search of how to get the interface configured via dhcp at boot time, Some sugestions?

Any chance of getting Dynamic support built in? This would be a huge upgrade for me, the configuration options here are almost limitless…

Thanks!

Hi all!

I have two installations where dhcp was used on the wan and it works great. Just do not assign default gateway when creating database. Enter dhclient ETHxx in rc.local. If the dhcp server provides you with gw you are on the move. You have to enable nat on the interface if you need it in your config.

This simple issue would be great to get in the webinterface on one of the comming releases.

in the console, not web interface
you can press “s”
and input
“dhclient ETH01”
the ETH01 interface will get IP from your ISP, the IP as below
ETH00：192.168.0.75
ETH01：dynamic IP
