The U is using MAC addresses to verify that you can be on the network? That's silly. Don't they have some better method of authentication? Hrm... couldn't you plug in and sniff for ARP requests to get some MAC addresses and use ifconfig to change yours to someone elses who is already registered on the network? Then you could hop on the network without a registered card. :) Just a thought. > -----Original Message----- > From: BN [mailto:bneigebauer at attbi.com] > Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 11:42 PM > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: RE: [TCLUG] using DHCP at the U. > > > Did you try the -h 'hostname' option? > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org > [mailto:tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org] On > Behalf Of Tim > Wilson > Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 9:28 AM > To: TCLUG > Subject: [TCLUG] using DHCP at the U. > > Hey fellow U. of MN folks, > > I registered the MAC address of my laptop a couple weeks ago > at the ADCS Web site, but I'm not getting DHCP to work in > Walter Library or anywhere else I've tried. > > Are there any known problems with Linux and DHCP at the U.? > The guy I spoke with on the ADCS helpline didn't know of any, > but you know how tech support can be sometimes. > > BTW, I'm running Gentoo and I believe the DHCP client is dhcpcd. > > -Tim > > -- > Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: > Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.org | http://www.zope.com > W.
