well, i checked out if i had dhcp installed using 'rpm -q dhcp'. and it gave
dhcp-1.0b1pl17-4mdk. so, is it actually installed? or could this be a dhcp
server?
thanks,
salman

ok, thanks. i'll try that. where's the best place to for that? rpmfind.net?
or is it on the mandrake 7.2 iso cd's (install and/or extensions)?
thanks again,
salman

You need to manually install the DHCP package.
It is not installed by default.
