How does one display, release and renew an IP on a Ubuntu6.10 box?
I think the answer you are looking for is dh_client you should also take a look at man interfaces as that will show you how to set network interfaces up automatically on boot.
Also, can an old Laser Jet 4mv printer with a JetDirect Card be told to grab an IP or otherwise be seen on a peer to peer network (w/out a server to install to)?
I'm fairly sure an HP Laserjet 4 w/ jet direct understands dhcp, you may need to do a cold reset before it goes looking for an IP """Many HP printers with internal HP Jetdirect print servers can be reset to factory defaults (or cold-reset) by turning the printer off and holding down the ONLINE or GO buttons while turning the printer back on. The printer control panel display should read Cold Reset or Restoring Factory Settings. If the printer has no display, the indicator lights will cycle.""" You should be able to talk to it with CUPS over the network. _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
