Peter, welcome to SuSE Linux.  A little learning in the Manual pages should get 
you going.  DHCPD is the correct program, /etc/dhcpd.conf is the configuration 
file for the program, type "man dhcpd" and "man dhcpd.conf" to get a wealth of 
info that will not only get you going but will educate you as to what you are 
doing, why, etc.  Linux allows YOU to control yor computer INSTEAD of Micro$oft. 
 It may be a bit harder in the beginning, but well worth the effort. ;)
