Re: [PLUG] DHCP server for RH or genric linux

["Gerald D. Neale" <jesran@yahoo.com>]

This works with Red Hat... 
Make sure you have dhcpcd, the "client daemon",
installed.
rpm -q dhcpcd

if not install it from the cds
rpm -Uvh dhcpcd*

or install from online
rpm -Uvh
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/current/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/dhcpcd-1.3.18pl8-13.i386.rpm

or better yet use apt-rpm
apt-get install dhcpcd

Now that you've installed the program configure your
NIC to utilize dhcpcd with the command line program
netconfig. This is totally self-explanatory. 

At first I reccommend setting your HOSTNAME to
"localhost" in the /etc/sysconfig/network file to
avoid conflict. Later you can find out your
comcast.net machine name and modify this file
accordingly if you want, but localhost is safe
initially.

Also, comment out or delete the nameserver entry in
/etc/resolv.conf. Your DNS server setting will now
come in dynamically. You can verify that(and some
other settings) in the /etc/dhcpcd/hcpcd-eth0.info
file.

Good Luck,
Jerry
