Hello My work is currently organizing the installation of a broadband internet connection (via a digital set top box) into my home. The intention being that it will be mainly used to network a company Windose laptop. The installation technician saw my Debian box (Woody on a Compaq Professional Workstation 5000 PPro SMP) and mentioned that that although they don't officially support Linux if I could get a DHCP connection up and running through my ethernet card I could probable connect my Debian box on to their network.
Following this I did some research in the documentation and mail archives at Debian and the Linux Documentation Project. Both these places have lots of networking information but none of it seems to tell you directly how to set-up a DHCP connection on a Debian box. I would be very grateful if anyone could give me some pointers as to how to set-up DHCP or a good source of information on the subject. Thanks in advance James James Aitken W: +44 (0) 20 8547 0470 H: +44 (0) 1322 404582 M: +44 (0) 7768 057306 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Personalised email by http://another.com
