You should have a package called dhcp-client. how well does your laptop work with dhcp ? i tried with multiple dell laptops (Xircom 10/100 pcmcia) and had major problems (with debian, slackware and mandrake) trying to get an ip on boot..seems we could get one after the machine was warmed up for 5-

Yes, another reason dhclient (pachage dhcp-client-beta) is superior is that it doesn't immediately fork into the background. It stays in the foreground until your IP is gotten (or until a timeout expires) so you can pretty surely know that once it's been run the IP will be set. If you start dhcl

Just for the record, my dhcpcd is having the same problem, with one ethernet card. Kernel 2.2.7, dhcpcd 1.3.16. I have to use dhclient (another DHCP client program) to connect to the internet. I had this problem under Redhat, too. In fact, it is part of the reason I switched. Trying to get

I believe there is a limitation with the 2.0.X kernel which prevents dhcp from working if you have more than one ethernet card. There may be a work-around (other than upgrading your kernel and everything else) but I don't know what it might be. I'd search around on deja.com. Richard Miles wrote:

Ok, well i guess my problem is my server then. Does anyone here use a NetGear RT328 ISDN router? That is what i use for my dhcp server and it seems to be setting my hostname, and i wish i knew how to change it. On Tue, 25 May 1999, Marc Haber wrote: > On Tue, 25 May 1999 09:11:37 -0500 (CDT),

What is the settting that allows you to set the hostname on the client? I run dhcpcd on my linux box on a Win network, and my dhcpc always sets my hostname to dhcpc1. Where is this seting you are talking about i've been trying to find it for weeks. On Tue, 25 May 1999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >
