RE: [newbie] package downloads need conversion?

Just so you know, I don’t believe that the DHCPD is what you need if you are trying to configure it as a client. Dhcpd is the daemon which provides the service to others. If you are not trying to make a dhcp server, I wouldn’t recommend that you install this package. If you go into linuxconf > network settings > defaults, and remove EVERYTHING (ip settings, gateways, dns, etc.) except the driver for your network card, and then choose the option of DHCP or (automatically configure) this should work… it is mandatory that there be absolutely no ip’s of any kind entered for the eth0 device… give that a whirl I say!   Cory Grey Coastal Pacific Xpress www.cpx.ca (604) 575-0983   -----Original Message----- From: Matthias Monreal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 11:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] package downloads need conversion?   Hi everybody,   I'm trying to get my Mandrake 8.0 system online and need to install dhcpcd or pump as a dhcp client.  Can I download these packages on a Windows box and install them straight on my Linux box or do I have to convert them into a Linux compatible format?   Any advice will be greatly appreciated!   Thanks,   Matthias
