You /can/ do dhcpcd -T -d, and that will give you the ARP of the DHCP server answering (or at least the bootp helper switch/router). Then, you find the IP. Maybe run arpwatch and check the cache. > U have to use "ping -I eth0 -b 255.255.255.255" instead, > but it can happen not only DHCP server answers ... More like it's likely it won't even answer. There's no good reason for ISP infrastructure to answer to broadcast pings. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
