Yup, note the 'c' in dhcpcd. Stands for client. And the binary behaves like a daemon in the way that it disconnects from the terminal and keeps running the way usual daemons do -> in the background. That's why there's also a 'd' in it. # sudo dhcpcd --help DHCP Client Daemon v.1.3 [snip] > It worked for me before I even had a clue what I was doing! Same here. With the exception of not being able to actually do much more than "signing" on.

Oops, perhaps I should have stated that I do *not* use @home. I am not located in the United States, but in Switzerland, Europe. Oh, incase it matters: I'm running potato.
