Hi,

I've been trying to get DHCP going on my SuSE 6.3 laptop.  I have fixed
IP address enet going fine.  But, when it comes to DHCP, I'm clueless.

I reconfigured things with yast to use dhcp, but so far no luck.

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:46:05:DB:47
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:147 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:2372 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          Interrupt:9 Base address:0x5000
                                              

I run dhclient, but when it tries to send packets on eth0, I get this:
 
DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3
send_packet: No such device    

So...  What am I doing wrong?  ifconfig shows eth0 as present.

	Thanks!
