Hi G, I use [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well, When I did my Debian install, the network config part asked if I wanted a static or dynamic IP. I said dynamic and it worked fine. I believe at this point, pump gets installed. I don't know for sure. Anyway, My /etc/network/interfaces looks like this:
iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet dhcp I would guess you need to install pump. HTH, Mike Quoting "G. Crimp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > I need help setting up a dhcp client.
