Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. look at http://isc.org/products/DHCP/
After Vixie's letter under the ISC AEgis, I'm less than thrilled about referring you to them, but they did write the reference software. Basically DHCP is a way to get an IP/gateway/nameserver/_et al_ upon bringing up the interface. This is the successor to bootp/rarp. The debian packages relating to it are client: pump, dhcpcd, dhcp-client, etherconf, rrlogind, bpalogin server: dhcp, bootp Associated programs: dhcp-dns, dhcp-relay, autodns-dhcp On Fri, 2 Feb 2001, Cristian Fatu wrote: >What is dhcp ? > > > > -- FINE, I take it back: UNfuck you!
