As I understand it, dhcpd is a DHCP server. Do you want your box to use DHCP to configure its IP address etc. from the cable modem? That would not be served by dhcpd. What you need is a DHCP (or BOOTP would be fine, and would be compatible with their server) *client*. I couldn't see any debian package which is available to do this. I also don't know of any source out there which does this, although I'm sure it exists. This would really be a major change/addition since currently all this stuff is set in /etc/init.d/network. -- Jens B.
