Hey everyone! My first post in a while: I've been merrily using gentoox without too much hassle for almost two months now... but here's what I've just come across...
I have a cable internet connection split on a hub to four computers. I need each to recieve its DHCP IP address from the ISP and also to have one IP defined by me for my local network.
on my linux boxes I can use this no problem. However, if I try to add an alias to the /etc/conf.d/net file, my IP defaults to 192.168.1.13 when /etc/init.d/net.eth0 starts; no DHCP, no assigned IP, just the gentoox default.
Is this doable? Can I set it up to recieve an address via DHCP and assign an alias myself at startup?
