Re: Switch from static IP to DHCP

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said...

 I have to switch from static ipadress to dhcp. I installed dhcp
 clientpackages but my system still uses the static ip adress. How do I
 properly remove this and which packages do I have to uninstall?

You don't need to uninstall anything; just change /etc/init.d/network to
configure your networking using dhcp rather than your static IP.

Should be `/etc/resolv.conf'.

 See and edit the /etc/init.d./network file.  Check your
/etc/resolve.conf file if you ran your own DNS.

...not sure whether you received my earlier reply, as there was no
copy sent here.   I suggested that you look at
/etc/init.d/network
and 
/etc/resolve.conf
