using the command line (Linux Mandrake), how do i get rid of the static IP address and make eth0 get a dynamic address from DHCP? how do i set eth0 to automatically find a DNS server address? (my current DNS settings are in a file called resolv.conf under /etc). thanks. |

I'm not in Mandrake, Run Slack 9.1 here, but in slack. open the file /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf in a text editor (i.e. pico, vi or emacs) and change USE_DHCP[0]="no" to USE_DHCP[0]="yes" you can even leave all the other info there, since the USE_DHCP setting overrides all the others. To go back to your static IP, just change back to no. [edit]: board smilies get inserted, anyone know how to turn them off for this post only? |
