Ok, i gave that a shot, as far as i could tell dhcp is installed and the "/etc/network/interfaces" file is correct. allthough I am a "newb" so Ill attach that...
When i tried the network restart it gave me: Reconfiguring network interfaces: cat: /var/run/dhclient.pid: no such file or directory done So I checked the syslog, it says: Jun 9 14:25:38 ingersoll dhclient-2.2.x: socket: Protocol not available - make sure CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_FILTER are defined in your kernel configuration! Jun 9 14:25:38 ingersoll dhclient-2.2.x: exiting. Do I do that? If so, where is that in the little xconfig screen with all the buttons?
