I got it! I was looking in the network server startup script but... anyway... Here is what I think you should do. Edit your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX file to contain: "ONBOOT=no" Next take whatever manual dhcp command you would execute (for me this is 'dhclient eth0') and put this at the end of rc.local with an ampersand after it so it doesn't block. dhclient eth0 & Note that rc.local is executed after all other scripts so you might want to move this somewhere else if it does not run early enough for you... Later, Jason B.
