Hi,

I'm using Slackware 10.1. Last semester we were using static IP addresses to access the internet from our dorms. But this sem, the management has changed it to dynamic IP addresses. I just had to select 'Automatically detect settings' in WinXP to make it work. But in Slack, I've tried netconfig, editing, /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf, and even googled , but it just isn't working.

Here's what I did in netconfig:

1. First gave the hostname : Salvatore
2. Next, domain name : salvatore.org (I'm assuming, I can use any name here and for hostname)
3. Selected DHCP.
4. Pressed enter for the next screen as there is no Host number or whatever.
5. Selected OK.

After this, I rebooted but still no use. I want the system to acquire gateway, DNS servers and everything directly from the DHCP server. Any ideas?
