I successfully configured my network card to use DHCP to connect. but when I go back to my windows system (same machine). I can't connect. I supposed that the IP was not released because assigning the IP address manually worked. Now, how do I tell the DHCP client to release the IP address?
From man (8) dhcpcd
-k Sends SIGHUP signal to the dhcpcd process that is currently running. If dhcpcd receives SIGHUP it will send DCHP_RELEASE message to the server and destroy dhcpcd cache. In a case dhcpcd receives SIGTERM which is normally used by shutdown(8) when rebooting the system dhcpcd will not send DHCP_RELEASE and will not destroy cache. When sys tem boots dhcpcd will use cache to request the same IP address from DHCP server which was assigned before the system went down. HTH, Victor -- Victor R.
