actually version 3 is there now, with some NICEEEEEEE features. regards scsijon -----Original Message----- From: klcroxen@fas.harvard.edu <klcroxen@fas.harvard.edu> To: suse-linux-e@suse.com <suse-linux-e@suse.com>; mailinglists@bolay.de <mailinglists@bolay.de> Cc: feedback@suse.com <feedback@suse.com> Date: Friday, May 12, 2000 6:49 AM Subject: Re: [SLE] dhclient (was: [SLE] cable modem)
Yikes! Now *there* was a bolt from the blue... :)
You know, it had never even occurred to me that the dhcpclient shipped with Suse 6.3 (all of, what, 5 months ago?) might just be seriously out-of-date, rather than simply defective in the given environment. Next time I have a couple of hours to kill, I'll give the currentmost version of dhcpclient a try and see whether I like it better than dhcpcd in conjuction with RoadRunner or not.
Thanks for the tip!

Don't apologize! It's a vey good article and greatly improves the signal to noise ratio on this list :-)
I just have one comment:
Your gateway machine's Suse distro includes almost everything you need right out of the box. I say 'almost' because the DHCP client that comes with distros through 6.3, 'dhcpclient' does not work well, if at all, with > the Road Runner service. You will need the improved client shipped with > Suse 6.4, 'dhcpcd' which is also available at > sunsite.unc.edu/pub/linux/system/network/daemons
I also had problems with dhclient using it with the DHCP server of the University of Massachusetts and Adelphia Cable.
As it turns out SuSE ships an old version of dhclient. When I downloaded and installed a current version 2 from http://www.isc.org/products/DHCP/ all problems vanished. I reccomend that SuSE updates their rpm!

PS: dhcpcd works, too!
