Suse 6.3 dhclient with MediaOne RR failure

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

A couple of things. M1X is a bit non-standard. When I initially ran SuSE 
6.0, it came up fine, then 6.1 wouldn't come up. I found a solution last 
summer after I came back from Tenessee. See if you have a file, 
/var/state/dhcp/dhclient.leases. I'll send you a copy of mine, that yould 
fix your problem.

You set up the IP masq parameters in the RC.CONFIG file through YaST. 
System Administration/Change Configuration File.

For the most part, I have found SuSE to be more complete and stable than 
Red Hat.
