I tried following: # rpm -q dhcp This gives me o/p as "Package dhcp not installed" So i tried: # yum install dhcp Following is the o/p: ------------------- Setting up Install process Setting up repositories Can not find a valid base url for reno: updates-released --------------- I am giving some more info below: I am on 1)Dell Inspiron 9300 2)currently with dual boot system - WinXP and FC4. On winXP - internet connection is ok. 3)Connecting to ISP through cable modem (ISP - Road Runner). Here i confirmed that they provide dynamic IP address through DHCP. 4)Device used: Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller I am aslo having wireless card but currently do not have wireless router. When i installed the FC4 - it recognised the hardware and i am getting Broadcom set for eth0. --------------------------------------- I tried following: #service dhcpd status Unrecognised service #service network status Configured device lo eth0 Currently active devices lo eth0 #service network stop Shutting down loopback interface : OK Shutting down interface eth0 : FAILED #service network start Bringing up loopback interface : OK Bringing up interface eth0 : Determining IP Information for eth0....:FAILED When i try very first time after reboot: #sudo dhclient ...DHCP Client V3.0.2 ..
