Hello,
Has anyone used the dhcpcd software? I need to use
it for work since they assign the IP numbers from
a dhcp server.
The reason I ask is because I start the client with
# dhcpcd -d
and in the log I see where it sends the DHCP_BROADCAST
message. I also see using ifconfig that the eth0
interface has been setup but contains no IP address
yet. Then after 2 - 3 minutes the message in the log
indicates that the client is stopping because of a
time out since no server responded. I don't know if
this would cause any problems but our NETMASK at
work is 255.255.252.0.
Is there a way to tell dhcpcd the address of the
dhcp server? Because I know what that IP address is.
I have read the section on the dhcpcd client in the
mini-HOWTO and still have no clue as what to do.
Using Slackware 4.0, kernel 2.2.6, and dhcpcd v1.3.
Thanks for any help.
