enable dhcp for client


Hi,

Solaris 9
Sparc

im trying to enable dhcp for this box, and im trying the following
commands

ifconfig hme0 dhcp start (this only hangs and timeout)

i know there is a valid dhcp server on the net and i have link.

Is there any spesific commands or services that need to run ?

Ole

There is no other command, that one should work.

What says "ifconfig hme0 dhcp status" ?
