No IP Address while Using DHCP
The system spec is SUSE 10 running on a Dell Inspiron 1200 with a old Compaq wireless card.
The wireless card is recognized by Linux. No problem there. No need for ndiswrapper.
While the laptop is booting up, I notice a message saying "DHCP client not running". However, after logging in, I do a "ps aux | grep dhcp" and get the following:
/sbin/dhcpcd -C -D -K -N -t 999999 -h Inspiron1200 -c
/etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/dhcpcd-hook wlan0
My question is do I have a dhcp client running or not? The problem is I am not getting a dynamic IP address from my router. I have to use a static IP.
Please help with some hints. Thank you.
