This will not currently work. DHCP client is not supported on Vyatta at this time because there is a conflict with the way that IP addresses are set. We're working to remove the issue and add DHCP client functionality to the system, but it's a bigger process that simply adding a package. Unfortunately, it requires a bit of yak shaving (http://www.faqs.org/docs/jargon/Y/yak-shaving.html , http://projects.csail.mit.edu/gsb/old-archive/gsb-archive/gsb2000-02-11.ht ml). -- Dave _______________________________________________ Vyatta-users mailing list Vyatta-users@mailman.vyatta.com http://mailman.vyatta.com/mailman/listinfo/vyatta-users
