The supplied installed system on the Open-Rd Ultimate, is set to use fixed IP addresses.
If you wish to use DHCP from your ADSL modem / router you will have to edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (and eth1 if required)
Configuring a DHCP Client
Setting up a Linux for dhcp can be done by editing file using a text editor such as vi:
# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Following is sample static configuration:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=00:19:D1:2A:BA:A8
IPADDR=10.10.29.66
NETMASK=255.255.255.192
ONBOOT=yes
Replace static configuration with DHCP:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:19:D1:2A:BA:A8
ONBOOT=yes
Save and close the file. Just restart network service:
# /etc/init.d/network restart
Please note that you need a configuration file for each device that you want to configure to use DHCP
BTW The MAC addresses for the two ethernet ports are printed on two adhesive labels stuck on the Open-rd pcb. They van also be found by using the Uboot printenv command
