Hello, I want to get dhcp running, so I tried to edit /etc/network/interfaces , but it didn't work ok. This my interfaces file

# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1

I tried to implement ther the USE_DHCP=yes, but I wasn't succesfull. How should it be to get the dhcp working correctly? Thanks

I don't have debian so forgive me if this does not work.


It looks like you need to remove these line that seem to me like they setup the interface for a static ip


auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1


change to this..



auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet static
#address 192.168.0.2
#netmask 255.255.255.0
#network 192.168.0.0
#broadcast 192.168.0.255
#gateway 192.168.0.1



seriously this is only a wild guess.

Thanks, I got it working with auto eth0 inet dhcp :-)
