How to Cut DHCPDiscover

hitmen · 08-27-2012, 02:23 AM

DHCPDiscover is endless and wasting my time after I type dhclient.

How do I stop it halfway???

It isn't evident from your post exactly what you are trying to accomplish but if you are not specifying a network interface i.e eth0 as a command line option dhclient will attempt to identify and configure all interfaces. The timeout default value I believe is 60 seconds so if you have more then one network adapter or one that is not connected it might take several minutes for the command to run.

In that case is there a short cut key to abort it?

Why are you using terminal to connect wireless and not a network manager?

What are the complete comands you have used to connect wireless?

Yes.

dhclient wlan0.

I am not using a wireless manager
