Re: DHCP and debian
Yes, another reason dhclient (pachage dhcp-client-beta) is superior is that it doesn't
immediately fork into the background. It stays in the foreground until your IP is
gotten (or until a timeout expires) so you can pretty surely know that once it's been
run the IP will be set. If you start dhclient in /etc/init.d/network (and update
/etc/hosts) your problems with samba will disappear.
