Anyone using this combination ?
The modem has a DHCP server , which initially gives a 192.168.0.X address on a short lease. It waits until it actually has traffic to send it until using DHCP to get the real (ADSL interface) address. Then it updates the 192.168.0.X address for the real one.
Changing eth0's address like this breaks the rules in the firewall. It can easily be fixed by running "rcSuSEfirewall2 restart", but it is a bit of a pain.
Any other solutions ?
