I'm getting ready for the pending @home to @comcast change over and the biggest
hurddle I have yet to make is implementing dhcp.
I'm working with dhclient as supplied with workstation 3.1. From the commandline or a
fresh boot I can get dhclient to negotiate with my isp for a new ip address and it'll
even correctly write out a new /etc/resolv.conf file for me... Such magic.
The dhcp hurddle I haven't quite cleared is understanding what I've done.
Would someone point me to a really good FAQ or how-to for the dhclient
included in workstation 3.1? Everything I've come across speaks of
dhcpd... which I believe is different from what I'm working with.
Also, what happens when the lease expires? Is a new lease automatically negotiated or
do I have to manually intervene in some manner like restarting the firewall, etc.
I'd be most greatful for any tips passed my way.
Thank you, in advance.
