hi.. the problem is actually mine, not Marcin's. there is no dhclient.leases because this is the first time EVER i used it on the this brand new 6 install. dhclient.conf is empty as always has been for me - from 4.x till 5.4. i've never used ISC-DHCPd before. i've been using dhclient for a while - for wi0 also - after configuring the essentials with ifconfig (with scripts for different locations and and wep keys).... so yes - i know how to use dhclient... thanks.... > On Fri, 3 Feb 2006 15:19:43 +0100 > Frank Altpeter <frank@altpeter.de> wrote: > >> Hi there, >> >> Marcin Jessa wrote on 2006-02-03 at 15:06:38 CET: >> > What if you take your laptop to an university to hold a lecture and >> > you are unable to run dhcp?
