Sorry I might have attached teh wrong file. So here comes the patch ! My reason for switching to dhclient instead of dhcpd are very simple. There is stricly no configuration file for dhpcd. Thus if you wat to use NetworkManager (a useful application for laptop user who wnats to promote Linux), you do not have any control over /etc/resolv.conf and stuff like that. Moreover, dhclient got some verbose mode and is outputing information on /dev/log, which can be useful to debug a tricky dhcp server ! -- Vincent-Xavier JUMEL Ingénieur ESIM +33 (0) 630 803 804 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://vincentxavier.free.fr http://www.archlinux.fr
