Greetings. I had my dhclient software installed and configured to work with the
att@home service. The only thing that it is set to send is the host-name.
It requests the DNS servers, router, broadcask and netmask information.
As you probably have heard, Att @home, is no longer. Over the wekeend, they
changed over to their new network, Att Broadband. Now that all the lights came
back up on my General Instrument Surfboard Cable modem, I reboot the machine
to get back online. I found that the dhclient software gets all the necesary information
(based on the dhclient.leases file) but I cannot get online. In other words, it seems to
be working correctly, but I cannot ping anything outside of my box EXCEPT the dns
servers. The only thing that I've heard that has changed is that we are all on dynamic IP's instead of static ip's.
 
I'm basically writing to see if anyone else had any similar problems, and how I might
correct them.
Also, I have a 4 port hub that they are connected through, however at the time
being, no other mahcines are connected to the hub.
