Who to configure eth0 to use dhco from command line

waelaltaqi · 11-17-2005, 02:41 PM

i used ifconfig to use static ip address L 192.168.2.222/24. it worked fine but i want to return the eth0 to be a dhcp client again. dhclient and ifconifg doesn't give you the option make an interface to use dhcp .... i know how to that from GUI , but i just want to know how to that from the shell..

try this:

Code:

pump -i eth0

or, this:

Code:

dhcpcd eth0

it didn't work ..... i don't have the pump command at all ..... and dhcpd as far as i know , conrtols dhcp server behaviour not ip configuration. anyway i tried to do dhcpd eth0 , but it didn't work.
thanks

It is actually dhcpcd, which is the client version. does it give a program error, or say "No such file or directory"?

One other idea:

Code:

udhcpc -i eth0
