dhcp problem
 
I just got the newest slax standard and everything works fine, exept I can't connect to the internet. All I have to do is use dhcp. I tried using netconfig to set it to dhcp, but this didn't work.
I don't think it's a hardware problem since I get a mac address to both eth0 and eth1 at boot and I can set eth0 to a static IP.
I also tried 'dhcpcd eth0' but nothing happens.
I can't figure out what the problem is. I am on the internet from the same computer, but a different distro.
What is wrong with slax?

does your dhcp server require a specific hostname ?

my local ISP requires a specific hostname, and for livecds that have dhcpcd,

Code:

dhcpcd -h <hostname> eth0
should work
