Is dhclient installed? If not, download it from the Internet
Software Consortium web site.
As root:
set up /etc/dhclient.conf to contain:
interface "eth0" { send host-name "<your client id>" ; }
then at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local add:
dhclient
and reboot.
Read man dhclient, dhclient.conf, dhclient.leases
