It's not always straightforward. There are at least three DHCP client daemons available: pump, dhclient, and udhcpc. It is my experience that sometimes one will work when the others will not. Sometimes you need to send your computer's host identifier, sometimes you don't. Oh yes .. if you have a firewall, make certain that it's not blocking DHCP (UDP ports 67 and 68). I am using udhcpc for my AT&T cablemodem without sending the client ID. -- http://www.latimes.com/business/la-000003463jan14.story _______________________________________________ Masq maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Admin requests can be handled at http://www.indyramp.com/masq-list/ -- THIS INCLUDES UNSUBSCRIBING! or email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] PLEASE read the HOWTO and search the archives before posting.
