I am new at this, what file is the client config file? I can only see a dhcpd.conf file under /etc thanks, Ahbaid. William Perry Dulyea wrote:

Start by looking into your /var/log/message file and see what the dhcp client is returning for messages to the kernel logger. Next go to your /etc/ directory and find the client config file and scan thru it to see that YaST configured everything correctly, ie the service request section. Next you should try stopping and restarting the service by moving to the /etc/rc.d/ directory and run the client script as root... ./dhcp.client restart. Be sure to run xterm -e tail -f /var/log/messages & prior to this to see what happens.

Hope this gets you started. Best of luck.

Hi all,

My network card is not probing via. dhcp for an IP address and other networking information.

I had a 3 Gig drive in my machine running Suse 7 and I upgraded to a 20 Gig drive. It's a laptop.

Now, the card works fine as the machine dual boots with Win 98 and that works fine via dhcp,

I have done the setup just as I did it on the 3 Gig drive... using YaST

Any ideas where I can start looking to trouble shoot this? Can I manually cause the machine to use dhcp via. the prompt after it boots?

thanks,

Ahbaid.
