After sitting around, blaming my dumb distro, I rant on #perl and amagosa asks me if I have the eth module in the kernel.
D'oh.
With a quick line in /etc/modules.conf and a modprobe command, I'm back in the game.
Now, dhcpd complains about the lack of a 'ddns-update-sytle' command in /etc/dhcpd.conf. I have one in there but it doesn't seem to like it. Time to consult google or something. This is the last step and I should have a gateway. Well.. IP Masquerading would probably help.
In any case, I'll save that for tomorrow. I have to paint my wifes toe nails. Being at the end of her pregnancy it's not fun for her, and she refuses to go into labor without painted nails. I'm a good husband, it was even my idea. ;-)
