Well, I still can't get dhcpcd to work. I've removed and re-emerged it. That didn't help.
I ran tcpdump on the dhcp server. It saw nothing from the client. Are there any kernel config which need to be set in order to use dhcp? I've got kernel-level configuration set, for what it's worth. This is getting frustrating. <GRRrrrrrr> Thanx, Mike Diehl On Monday 03 March 2003 3:46 am, Pat Double wrote: > Here's something to check that has bit me a few times. dhcpcd stores DHCP > info it's gathered in /etc/dhcpc.
