Hi!
According to YAST, (in the configure section) if I introduce the word "bootp" in the ifconfig options (that is, the section of YAST that edits the /etc/rc.config file), I will be able to get a dynamic address... How? I have not figured this out yet. Can anybody help?
As of now, I have hardwired the IP addresses of all my SUSE machines. However, I am just waiting for the University networking folks to come down with an axe... Help!

You also need another machine on your subnet that is a bootp server for your machine to get it's IP address at boot time. A better/elegant approach is to use DHCP. It provisions more parameters than bootp does. SuSE includes DHCP client but am not sure if the DHCP server is also included. -- Arun Khan - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
