How to set DHCP in linux ppc? |
| Ineed to to install a DHCP client on my linux to access internet, have a solution for me?

| To set up DHCP client, here's two ways to do it: 1) # pump -i eth0 2) # dhcpcd eth0 | |
| I was able to enable DHCP on my installation of linusPPC 99 Q3 by creating a file called /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. This file contained the following lines: DEVICE=etho ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp I figured this out by looking at /etc/rc.d/init.d/network. Take a look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo for other variables that can be set. Basically, this file provides all of the information to configure an interface. Hope this helps. -- Mark duffetta@mediaone.net | |
| While those answers do work, it is MUCH easier to select the DHCP options in the linuxppc installer. This will automatically configure things for you.
