Is there any way to use DHCP client on my SS20(Solaris 2.5.1)?
Owing to the poor performance of my old ss20 machine with Solaris7,
I changed OS to Solaris 2.5.1. It works fine and everything goes well except
this version of Solaris doesn't have DHCP client by default...
How can I make my SS20 be DHCP client? Is there anyother SW for
DHCP client?
Please let me know the way to use DHCP.
Thanks in advance.

You might check the DHCP client software at http://www.isc.org/.

I have not needed to use it on my Solaris 2.6 and 7 boxes, but did need to
replace the DHCP client software on my Linux boxes and it dropped in
and worked right away. Note that our company seems to be using the
ISC DHCP server (v2) software, so that helps.
