Hello. I cannot figure how to use the dhcpd client. Any tips ?
I'm using a box that shares W95 and Linux. I recently subscribed to an Internet connexion through tv-wire. Technically, it means an Ethernet card connected to a wire-modem, and using dhcp to get all the IP address, gateway, dns server, etc ... With W95 this works fine, so I can write down the IP configuration retrieved by dhcp with W95. Then, under linux, I can configure my Ethernet card with this config, and I then get access to Internet, so it means the Ethernet card is recognized by my linux. However, at boot time, if I do an "ifconfig", only the loopback address is shown and if I do an "ifconfig -a", the eth0 interface appears with no IP address or configuration. When installed with dselect, the dhcpd displays no error message. I'm lost. Thanks to all in advance.
