Is eth0 builtin? If so, you can configure it for DHCP via /etc/network/interfaces. See the man page on interfaces(5): % man interfaces If eth0 is a PC card, then you can specify to use DHCP when the card is configured by setting DHCP="y" in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. Hope that helps. Best regards, -- Zane Dodson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
