I've got DHCP working on @home cable without a problem. I'm usind dhcp-client with folowing in /etc/dhclient.conf: send host-name "whateveryournameis"; supersede domain-name "yourdomainname"; supersede domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; Supersede lines are optional. You can use it to override some settings from DHCP server. Interface configuration in /etc/network/interfaces is: auto eth1 iface eth0 inet dhcp Ifup command starts dhcp-client and the interface is configured via dhclient-script according info recieved from DHCP server. I hope this helps. Cheers David
