Constantine, thanks for your help, but I am back again.. :) I removed dhcpcd and replaced it with dhcp-client-beta and dhcp-beta (or whichever package contains the docs for dhcp-client-beta) from my slink release 2 CDs.
Still no go. I get the same "Operation not permitted" error message. It just looks a little different now. :( Anyone? please? :) On Tue, Aug 31, 1999 at 03:09:07PM -0400, Constantine Karbaliotis wrote: > Seth, I have never been able to get dhcpcd to work.
