#1 Re: Question: How to move Debian network from static IP to DHCP Posted by Steve (82.41.xx.xx) on Thu 11 Aug 2005 at 03:43 It sounds like you've done the right thing. The only obvious comment is that you must have a DHCP client installed. If you don't have one then you'll not be able to request/receive an address properly. So before you make the change from static to dhcp make sure you run: apt-get install dhcp-client Or apt-get install pump Either of those should do - personally I prefer to use pump. Once you have it installed you should be able to make the change successfully. (You can usually force an assignment with the client too, eg "pump -i eth0"). Steve -- Steve.org.uk
