Re: [Plug] DHCP

[Kyle Burton <mortis@voicenet.com>]

I've used DHCP on my laptop (client part) just by running the netcfg tool,
de-activating the eth0 device, choosing DHCP as the boot proto, and 
re-activating it.


as for starting/stoping the dhcp daemon, usign the rc scripts is probably
the best method.  In redhat, run [as root]:

  /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd stop
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd start
