RE: DNS


What are you using to do the dhcp?  Is there a dhcp server for Linux?  Only
thing I've found was a dhcp client.  Reason I ask is that I recently
installed Linux on a laptop and use dhcp at work on an NT network, but what
I'd like to do is also use dhcp on my Linux based home network so I don't
have to reconfig it when I go home to get on my network.
