Alan, 

	Just found a useful piece of information. It seems this is a
reasonably common problem with 2.0. People are suggesting that if you
delete the eth1.pid file, which I believe is somewhere around in the
/etc/rc.d folder(I can't access my smoothie from work, but a good old 
"find / -name eth1.pid -print" should solve the location issue) and then
reboot the box it should work fine. Actually, I have noticed a few
issues involving snort and a PID file that caused me some concerns and
found deleting it solved the problem temporarily. 

Good Luck.

Kind Regards,
 
Conor Cunningham

Hi folks,

I've been trying to fit a firewall between a Motorola SB4200 Cable modem
and
a LAN.
If I connect my Laptop (win2k) directly to the modem (Ethernet
connection),
the modem's DHCP server gives me an IP address.
If I try the same piece of Ethernet cable into a smoothwall box that is
set
to obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP, I do not get an IP
address.

Has anyone had any experience with these modems on the Optus cable
network?


Best Regards,
Alan Harrison.
