DHCLIENT Configing


I don't know whether this post should go on the networking or software forum. So i'm winging it ;}

Ok here it goes. I'm fairly new to editing programs and scripts on Linux. I want to know how I can set up my dhclient.conf file so I can recieve the proper DNS services.

The IP of the Router is 192.168.0.1
The SubNet is 255.255.255.0
I don't know what port to scan but i'm guessing the default of 67.

I hope you guys can help a newbie >;]

Are you trying to provide a DHCP service to clients or are you trying to get a DHCP client to use a specific DNS server (say, for browsing?).

Uhhh port 67 is for DHCP server broadcasts. If a DHCP client was not negotiating properly for a lease, the DNS service would be the least of your worries.

If you are not getting any information about DNS servers in your DHCP responses then you are either explicitly telling dhclient to _not_ use the DNS inf (rare) or the information is not being supplied.

So I guess I'm not really sure if or what your problem is.
