hi, I've configured dhcp server on a sys and client on another. When I ran dhcp, the client would get an ip from server. This means dhcp is properly configured. Is it? But then, when I say ifconfig, the same old ip shows up and not the one given by dhcp server. Apparantly, ping for that ip(given by dhcp server) would fail. Could anyone help me figure out this thing? Thanks ____________________________________________________ Send a rakhi to your brother, buy gifts and win attractive prizes.
