Hi, Patrick, I just setup DHCP for the first time on my machine, but haven't yet had a chance to test it. To learn how to configure the IP address, try the DHCP-HOWTO: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/DHCP/x17.html As for making DHCP start when you boot, you should be able to use chkconfig to configure it. See 'man chkconfig' for details, but as an example, if you want DHCP to start when you boot into runlevels 3 and 5, you can do # chkconfig --level 35 dhcpd on This command lists it's current configuration: $ chkconfig --list dhcpd Of course, that all assumes that you installed from the rpm which came on your Redhat discs. If you don't have a script named 'dhcpd' in /etc/init.d, then chkconfig won't work. In that case, you could start dhcpd from /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
