Internet Access via Cable from Home
Help!!! I'm finally switching to SuSE Linux at home and I get get onto the Internet. Using DHCP at home, how do I check to see if I have an IP address? And how do I renew the IP address in Linux? Michael

You can check the address by typing: /sbin/ifconfig eth0 (assuming that eth0 is the name of your interface) You can release your DHCP address by typing: /sbin/dhcpcd -k You can renew your DHCP lease by typing: /sbin/dhcpcd -n For complete information check the dhcpcd(8) man page. good luck. -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER@VISI.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK IGNORE FULLWISE
