Re: [newbie] DHCP problems (fwd)
Well, I'm in the process of grabbing the dhcpcd package from Cooker. In the mean time, I'm trying to hook up to an NT network, is there any more info I'll need? I changed the pump line in /sbin/ifup to include the -h option, but had no luck. - Theo Axalon wrote: > > On Tue, 20 Jul 1999, Matt Stegman wrote: > > > You might try to use the "-h" option on pump (to request a specific > > hostname).

Re: [newbie] DHCP problems (fwd)
You might try to use the "-h" option on pump (to request a specific hostname). Make sure you have the latest version of pump (0.6.7-2mdk I believe). If so, you might want to try a different DHCP client (i.e. dhcpcd). I believe the pump commandline for the hostname thing would be pump -i eth0 -h $HOSTNAME I hear (by way of Axalon) that some DHCP servers require the client to specify a hostname. "man dhcpcd" could tell you more, but it doesn't work on my system, and the pump man page isn't very verbose on that subject (or any other). dhcpcd is available for download from: http://www.cps.msu.edu/~dunham/out/dhcpcd-1.3.17-pl2.tar.gz (for 2.2 kernels) -Matt On Mon, 19 Jul 1999, Theo Brinkman wrote: > I'm having trouble getting hooked up to the network at work.
