How should I download dhcp3-client w/o installing it
The instructions are:
---1- download (preferably with a package manager
--- dhcp3-client
How should I download dhcp3-client seeing as the os isn't on thet network. Should I 'apt-get install -d dhsp3-client' and pray there are no unmet dependencies?
---2- Edit /etc/network/interfaces so that it includes a
---stanza like this:
--- iface eth0 inet dhcp
---NOTE:
---may already have this line at the bottom of the script
---but comment out everything except this line (existing
---address/mask/Bcast.....)
You know I just looked at this file and modified it to look like the instructions say. I just added a hash by all the lines except the one i'm not supposed to. I looks thusly:
## /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
##auto lo
##iface lo inet loopback
## DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
# address 192.168.0.10
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# broadcast 192.168.0.255
# gateway 192.168.0.1
#auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
# address 192.168.0.15
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# broadcast 192.168.0.255
# gateway 192.168.0.1
##auto ath0
#iface ath0 inet dhcp
# address 192.168.0.15
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# broadcast 192.168.0.255
# gateway 192.168.0.1
##auto wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp
# address 192.168.0.15
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# broadcast 192.168.0.255
# gateway 192.168.0.1
## DO NOT EDIT ABOVE THIS LINE
---3- Recycle power (unplug for three minutes)
---4- type
--- dhclient
---to restart dhcp3-client

> So it appears as if the upgrade left my cable modem unwilling or more as unable to do dhcp as after researching it a bit I found that I do not have /sbin/dhclient (the above WAS done from the hard disk os as opposed to the live cd.
