Re: [SLE] dhcp client/masq- differences from Red Hat?

YES dhclient in SuSE 6.2 never got me lease. The simplest fix for this is to download dhclient version 3, uninstall package dhclient of the SuSE distribution and compile/install version 3. Then simply run command 'dhclient ethx' instead of using the YaST setup. The network device still needs to be turned on during boot(I gave it a local address setup which gets wiped out as soon as dhclient ethx is run). mk

So my questions are: (1) Does the dhcp client on Suse work any different than on Red Hat 5.2 (dhcpcd)? Where are the configuration files for it? Or will Yast do it's configuration for me?

You can configure the DHCP client using YaST. However, it seems like our dhclient sometimes has trouble getting a lease. Changing to dhcpcd cured this in most cases. LenZ
