Another couple of questions, folks: I have a system with two NICs, one pointing outward to a cable modem that needs to be set up with DHCP, and one pointing inward to support my home network that I configure with static IP addresses. I have gotten and installed dhcp3-client. Two questions: How do I get DHCP initialized; i.e., how do I get the dhcp-client files installed into the init.d and rc*.d files? How do I assure that the first NIC is configured by DHCP, but the other one with static ips? Many thanks in advance to any help you all can give me. Larry Hunsicker
