Could you please someone give me a tip where can I find an understandable description of the configuration of DHCP in order to automatically login upon bootup? Login via browser by givin login/passwd simply drives me crazy and takes a long time.

I assume you have one of those annoying internet connections where you have to log in to a web page before being able to use it, and that this is what you mean by "logging in". Is this correct?

If so, I'm not sure if you can do what you want with DHCP alone. It is probably possible to do it with wget or curl though, since they are both able to GET or POST login data from a script. You can put the script in /etc/sysconfig/network/if-up.d/ which should get triggered when you get an address from dhcp. Exactly what to put in that script depends on what the web page does when you log in, so I can't give a detailed answer on that one

Your are right,, that is what I thought of. Sorry for my ignorance... To be more precise: I connect to to the net via a cable a modem, and my computer does not have a static IP. The IP is given by a DHCP server, of course. To be able to use the net, I have to give my login/passwd -(that I got from my ISP)- on a browser page. After clicking OK, another window pops up and says that Authetication expired. After clicking OK in this latter window, the login/passwd boxes sometimes either disappear from the web page either they do not. I have to dismiss the browser to re- initialize the login process. Usually the result is the same. Except when after hitting OK in the pop up window the mouse cursor keeps its arrow shape and also the web page keeps the entries in the boxes. Clicking OK in the web page again leads to an error message that This page cannot be submitted twice. After a while (my record is 45 min) I got the message in the popup window that Auhentication is succesful and after that the default web page is loaded. I hope I was clear. Two remarks: Accessing the net in windows is achieved by running a small batch file (also from the ISP). In most cases it takes a couple of seconds. When I reboot into oS afterwards, there is no need for the above login process, since the net is already available. After switching off the computer and rebooting within -say - 30 minutes again (into oS) also leads to "ready for net" status.
