RE: DHCP Question



from memory,
 
cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/orig-interfaces
 
Pretty easy, install dhcpcd with
 
apt-get update ; apt-get install dhcpcd
 
Then /etc/network/interfaces needs the interface thats going to run dhcp to be setup
 
have these 2 lines,

auto eth0
iface etho inet dhcp

regards

Subject: DHCP Question

I am a novice in Linux. 
The computer running Debian connects to the router (Linksys 4 port. Model #: NR041).   [The router connects to the DSL Modem.]
It connects to the Ethernet Port.  I have enabled DHCP in the Router. 
 
How do I install DHCP Client?   What should be the content of this file?
 
I have 2 NIC cards in my computer
iconfig -a
should list the all the eth  - however it doesnt.   Is there a way I can have it to identify both the NICs?
 
What happens after the DHCP Client is installed?   What do I have to do for it to connect to the Internet?
 
 
Thanks & Regards,
