The context here is that we have an ICS box and no router, so can the Linux box co-exist with ICS using DHCP or do I have to take a step backward and configure it manually. From the looks of my inbox, I know this is not the best or most popular approach but I'm still hopeful that a simple configuration screwup on my part is responsible for making an easy task difficult.
As I understand it, ICS designates one box as the server and assigner of DHCP addresses (namely, the one you install it on). Thereafter it provides an IP address to any box, Win or Linux, that requests one using the DHCP protocols. So in principle you should just be able to specify that the Linux box is using DHCP and all the rest will happen in due course. Paul Abrahams
