Well i just started using dhcp, i had much the same problems as you seem to
be having, all you need to do is compile and install dhcp-2.0.tar.gz
After the make install just type 'dhclient eth0' where eth0 is your
interface of course. THATS it.
Just one small problem i forgot where i downloaded the above version from,
however a web search will lead you to it i am sure.
