I have cable and my ISP supplies my external card with an IP. So I need to get DHCP working...
I have searched the forum for help on this, and others posted the same question. Many were simply pointed to here: http://docs.astaro.org/attic/dhcp, and -presto- their problems appear to have been solved. So sorry if this is a repost. I am just looking for a little more of a step-by-step process.
I installed the files found here: http://docs.astaro.org/attic/dhcp
No luck.
I noticed that the updateip file found in the above download states that DHCP must first be installed. QUOTE: "dhcp must already installed and configure and be in a functioning state before using this script". This confuses me in that I thought I was running this script to install DHCP? If this is not true then how do I first install DCHP? Is it installed by default with 2.016? (it does not seem to be).
Concerning the updateip file, what has to be updated in this file before I run the script?
Do I have to set any file/folder permissions before I run this script? Do i have to run it as su (super user)? (i tried running it while logged in as root).
Any insight on how to get this to work would be great!!!!
Thanks for any help!!!
