I am with videotron cable modem, I have a smc ultra compatible card, which I
installed properly, but i cannot get my ip by dhcp.  When i run the dhcp
daemon, it says that it cannot find the dhcp.config file.  Please help me if
you can... thanks

  Have you tried getting the rpm or source and building and installing
dhclient or dhcpcd? And make sure that you are not trying to run the
server which will not give you a valid IP. It seems to me that this is
what you are doing. Try just typing dhclient or dhcpcd instead of simply
dhcp. Good luck.

You need to say what Linux distribution you have.
If Red Hat, most people are using pump (upgrade to latest version, > 0.7)
If Slackware, most people seem to be using dhclient (me too).
etc.
Look in /etc and search for *.conf. There should be dhcpd.conf, dhclient.conf,
etc. for non-Red Hat distributions.
Some have GUI setups.

Anyway, post distribution and many will help you from there.

cheers...bob

1. RH 5.1 flawless ftp-dhcp install; dhcp config retained; dhcp fails @ boot

DHCP fails to configure a network connection, even after it worked
wonderfully for an ftp install of RH 5.1 and I retained the network
configuration during the install process.  The relevant message on the
console during bootup is: DHCP ... failed.  The only message in
/var/log/messages that appears to be relevant is "no DHCPOFFER".
/sbin/ifconfig lists nothing for eth0.

A number of modules relevant to DHCP are loaded. I assume that all
necessary modules have been loaded.  The eithernet card also appears
to be correctly recognized.

I've read but not yet tried the Red Hat hacks listed in the DHCPcd
mini-HOWTO.  Has anyone successfully used these on RH 5.1?

Thanks,
Dick
