DHCP -- can anyone help?
Thanks to Mr. Bao Chau Ha, I now have my /dev/eth0 being recognized, but
alas, still cannot get to my local tcp/ip network. I can ping myself, and
my loopback device, but not anything else. The problem is that our tcp/ip
system has been changed to use DHCP now, so I don't think my old static IP
addresses for myself and the gateway are valid anymore. Does anyone know
how I can set up my system to make use of DHCP? I'm not sure exactly how
it works because windoze95 tends to hide things from you -- all I do for it
is click a DHCP radio button in the tcp/ip setup; so I'm pretty ignorant on
what it's actually doing. I do know (I think) that there's a DHCP server
somewhere that dynamically assigns IP addresses to it's clients -- I'm
assuming that's the way it works anyway. Anyone have any ideas?
