Yes, dhcpcd is the program you want. There are at least two popular DHCP clients, dhcpcd and pump. I've used both and both have worked well for me. You should be able to install the dhcpcd package from stable. I am new to Debian, so I can't tell you which files/scripts you need to modify. My woody CDs won't arrive until later this week :) Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Got spam?
