dynamic IP addressing

["S. Champ" <s-champ@postoffice.pacbell.net>]

hello.

i have an ethernet card attatched to a DSL modem.

i'll provide more hardware details, if requested, but for now i'm just wondering
if there's a quick way to setting-up the dynammic ip-addressing. (preferrably:
without having to go through the "DynIP howto" in order to get a net-connection,
though it is very neat that a person can learn about networking by installing
this system.)


i've already tried to install debian, and need to re-check to see if there are
any "tulip" ethernet-card drives available in the standard distribution, but
figured i'd send this question for now. (hopefully to get encouraged about
giving it another shot)


thank you.
