You need to have a DHCP client installed, but ifup should take responsibility for running it for you. Either of the packages you suggest should be fine; I generally use dhcp3-* because it's newer and shinier, but that's not a terribly good reason. :-) Other than that, it looks like you have done the necessary configuration and things should Just Work. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
