Hi

I run Fedora Core 1 (on a dual boot with Win 98) .. 

Recently I attached a cable modem to the m/c and set it up as below :

Settings on eth0: (local n/w)
eth0 is connected to the local network and runs Samba and DHCPD (on eth0 only).  Set to a static IP of 192.168.1.1

Settings on eth1 : (Motorola 5100 Surfboard cable modem)
Automatically obtain IP address settings with dhcp
DHCP Settings : Hostname is empty and Automatically obtain DNS is unchecked and Hardware is bound to the proper MAC address

When I try to activate the eth1 interface it fails.  An ifconfig on eth1 returns the following output :

[root at localhost root]# ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:BA:08:43:4C
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:864 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:65356 (63.8 Kb)  TX bytes:3420 (3.3 Kb)
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0xc400

<< The same cable connection on Win98 works without any hitches and I get connected>>

I want to use my Fedora box with the net and hence need help urgently

Thanks in advance
Regards
