Connecting FC5 to Windows DHCP Server

GreatDane · 06-12-2006, 06:00 AM

Hey all,

At work we are running Windows 2003 Server for our LAN. I have recently built a Linux box running Fedora Core 5 (standard install), which i would like to connect to the network for internet access and terminal services access.

Being new to Linux can anyone tell me how this is done? specifically how to get Linux to talk to Windows DHCP Server?

Many thanks in advance.

set
BOOTPROTO=dhcp or none in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

save the file and then
service network restart or ifdown eth0;ifup eth0;

or simply
just give netconfig or system-config-network and do it in the GUI
